About This Listing

With this kit, we have included the highest quality potentiometers that the CTS Corporation manufacture.

WD® Music Products developed these high-quality potentiometers with CTS® to offer you exceptional performance in electronics for your Les Paul and other carved-top instrument requiring the longer 3/4" bushing/shaft length. These are NOT the same CTS pots that other companies stock and sell. These are developed using 9% +/- tolerances and a value at 10% over the standard 500K rating (550K). This ensures you not only optimum performance but guarantees your potentiometers will always be at least the value stated unlike many others using 20% tolerances where you can be over spec but in most cases way under the specifications you need to ensure good tone from your pickups. They added brass components and a high-quality long-life wiper versus what comes standard on most run of the mill pots to ensure long life, quality and consistent performance. WD spared no expense and thought of everything whilst working with CTS, right down to chamfering the tops of brass shafts, making it easier to install your guitar knobs. 

We buy these pots in 100 bulk packs and as soon as we receive them, we go one step further. We measure every one of them and split them into either 550k or 525k and by doing that we can offer a tighter 5% tolerance on both the 525k and 550k. With this harness, we have handpicked 550k pots and the variation is a very tight 5%. When we select the pot values, we always use the higher values for volume pots and the lower values for the tone pots, as this gives the best tone. That's why we mark 2 volume pots with a V and 2 tone pots with a T.

Kit Includes:

4 – 550k CTS Premium Potentiometers with +/- 5% tolerance - Long-Split-Shaft, Audio Taper (2 nuts per pot)
1 – Switchcraft 3-Way Short Toggle Switch with Cream Tip
1 - 6" Shrink Tubing to insulate the braided wire that runs through the control cavity to the jack.
2 –  .022uf / 200v Orange Drop Tone Caps
1 - Switchcraft 1/4" input jack
48" of Gavitt Braided Wire
