\u00a0A500K 15mm Split Brass Shaft Mini Potentiometer for volume and tone control on guitar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

D3 = Pot diameter: 16mm (mini size)<\/strong><\/p>\n

L = Shaft length: 15mm\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

250k pots are usually used for volume control on any guitar and tone control on single coil pickups<\/p>\n

500k pots are usually used for tone control on humbucker type pickups<\/p>\n

Split shafts are suitable for push-on control knobs, solid shafts are suitable for knobs that have a tightening screw.<\/p>\n

15mm Shaft pots are normally used for Fender style guitars or guitars with plastic pickguards that the pot goes through<\/p>\n

18mm Shaft pots are normally used for Gibson style guitars as they often have wood that the pots must go through.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between A pots and B pots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“A<\/strong>” would denote an audio taper pot (most of the control happens between 7 – 10) and the “B<\/b>” suffix would denote a linear taper pot (more even roll-off between 0 – 10)<\/p>\n

A and B pots however are interchangeable and the only difference is the taper of the pot, or “how gradually it rolls off”. Most manufacturers use either audio taper (A)<\/strong> pots for volume + tone or would use audio taper (A)<\/strong> for tone, and linear taper (B)<\/strong> for volume. This is also determined by player preference<\/p>\n
