CTS Potentiometer 450 Series Audio Taper 250K Solid Shaft

Guitar pot with a solid shaft made by CTS.  The solid shaft diameter is 1/4" as found on the CTS pots used by Fender.

Audio taper pots are ideal for volume and tone controls on instruments with single coil pickups. An audio tapered pot resolves the perception to the ear in changes in volume or tone by using a logarithmic curve, this sounds more like a steady progressive increase or decrease as the knob is turned.  CTS pots have been used on Fender, guitars for years. Solid shaft specifically for knobs that attach with a grub screw.  Please ensure that the control knobs are grub screw and not push on.
