Questions & Answers

Do these fit into the A or B categories?

Since they are audio, the letter "A" is appropriate. In this case, it is the resistance against the taper. You are positioned.

What is the effect of this on a Squier Telecaster?

That would seem to be the case. Their size makes them standard, so their cavity should have enough space for them. It'll probably fit just fine in a jazz box with a floating pickguard, which is what I put mine in.

The mini pots are smaller versions of regular sized pots?

The pot and shaft are the same size, but the shaft is shorter

Could you please let me know if they are logarithmic or linear?

Greetings, it's a logarithmic scale, and you can use it for the Fender guitar

Selected User Reviews For CTS 250K Short SOLID Shaft Audio Potentiometer/Pot - 450G Series - PAIR (2X)

Volume and tone can be controlled smoothly

5/5

I replaced the pots (along with the switch) on a '73 This Telecaster is from 1974. It had been a long time since the old ones existed. Even though I had no soldering skills, I managed to replace all of the parts (pots + switch) going connection by connection (plus creating my own wiring diagram and taking many pictures). A wiring diagram can be found by visiting - I have no problems with the line. As with the original, the shaft length for the pots was identical. You will receive a lock washer (under the washer) and a chrome washer (above the washer) and a nut with these joints. When you are replacing the capacitors on your old beater, it might be a good idea to swap out the power supply as well. Now that volume and tone are in order, you can go ahead.

A taper is good for tone, but you may not be able to increase volume on the Easily rotates and has a good construction

4/5

Although the audio taper seems to work well for tone control, it does nothing for volume from 0 to 100% The volume changes start at 7 and then they go from 8-13 For the volume I probably should have used a linear taper, but I couldn't find a solid shaft taper in brass that was 250K, and I am pretty sure it should be audio for the volume and linear for the.

I would recommend this pot, however the seller is unreliable

3/5

In spite of the fact that it is exactly what I need for a build, the seller, "art of tone" supplied me with pots sold with a manufacture date of 2013. The year 2020 is here! I don't see how that is a new component. Buying from this seller again would not be a good idea.

It is built well and is The only thing I can say bad about them is that they are awesome

5/5

Even if I bought them every time, I choose a 'push-pull' setting more often than not when I'm building a guitar Put the pot to the side. Alpha might be purchased, and CTS might be acquired. No matter which way you look at it, it's worth it.

There is too little shaft there! I cannot understand how a shaft can be so I have returned

3/5

It is considerably better to have a Bourne mini at 3/8". CTS version that takes too long is not acceptable. A poor length balance results in a shaft that is too long.

As far as the pots themselves go, they I could not adjust the control cavity in time to make the short shaft pots work in my bass, but I was able to make them work after some minor adjustments to As far as the pots themselves go, they

It's exactly what you'd expect from a CTS potentiometer

5/5

The wiring has been re-wired. It's exactly what you'd expect from a CTS potentiometer. It was a simple matter to rewire my MIA Fender Jazz bass without a hitch. All of the pots fit perfectly with the control plate. A snug fit was achieved when control knobs were slid on.
