Yes, these have a 3/8" bushing diameter and a 1/4" shaft diameter, which are standard sizes for an American Telecaster.
Brian Wampler made a good video on this, in which he discusses how the process isn't very precise, so pots can vary a lot. They most likely (and kindly) matched them to the best of their ability, especially if you were using them as two volumes. It's always a bit of a guessing game, but you're not going to get exactly 250k for two of them unless you buy in bulk.
When the included cap is used, it can be used as a volume or tone control.
It also has a. Capacitor with a value of 1mF and a voltage of 250V
Selected User Reviews For Fender Pure Vintage 250K, Solid Shaft Potentiometer
I ordered two of these at the same time and discovered that what I got was a (correct) solid shaft pot and an (incorrect) split shaft pot after pulling them out of the packages. br>br>Amazon lists Fender's phone number as a direct contact for customers, but after calling, I discovered that Fender sells parts to Amazon as a vendor (much like Guitar Center does), so they generally refer people back to Amazon for order issues. br>br>Chris, the rep I spoke with, took care of the issue directly, so I didn't have to go through the run-around. Overall, if you get the right parts, they're exactly what they should be, and the quality you'd expect from CTS pots. br>br>In conclusion, if you get the right parts, they're exactly what you should be, and the quality you'd expect from CTS pots.
That means there's a lot of drop from 10 to 8, but not much below that. If you want to make more subtle changes, look for a LINEAR pot. It's incredible in terms of tone, and I used it with an oil paper. It's a 033uF cap, and it's incredible!.
I didn't read the Q, which was a mistake on my part. As well as testimonials. I simply knew I needed some 250k pots and placed an order. I also placed an order for a couple of caps. Then I grabbed both of them and laughed heartily. Caps are included with the pots. br>But it's not a big deal; I never know when I'll need those extra caps. br>In a Pacifica 302S, all electronics were replaced with Fender tele texmex pups and all Fender parts. br>I can tell you that those puppies are B. I'm looking forward to experimenting with them in new pots.
To make room for this, I had to drill my telecaster's control plate out. When compared to the stock 500k pots, the volume controls are drastically improved after installation. It's also a good idea to double-check the radius of the knobs you're using. In order for the knobs to fit the shaft properly, I had to drill them out. Aside from that, the product does exactly what it should.
CTS, and it even included a capacitor!.
It was an excellent solution.
I haven't tried this yet, but I have used these before and they have never failed me.
These were installed in my Fender Telecaster, and they transformed it from an "OK" guitar to an "Awesome" one! My guitar had always sounded terrible, and after doing some research, I discovered it had 1Meg pots. I replaced them with these 250k, and it's now fantastic!.
