DiMarzio 500K Long Shaft Custom Taper Potentiometer

Standard guitar pots limit your musical expression, only starting to deliver sound at about "3" on the dial and then never getting much louder above "7". DiMarzio's custom taper pot is made to solve that problem by precisely delivering a consistent signal-to-turn ratio, like a 10-position actuator. This provides players with audiophile-like control over dramatic volume swells and signal gain, so you can truly use the guitar's total range. And don't worry about wearing these out - each pot is rated to 10,000 cycles at 2,000 cycles per hour and is individually tested by DiMarzio to meet their rigid standards.

DiMarzio potentiometers are compatible with DiMarzio's full line of knobs.

The split shaft and bushings are made from machined brass, just like the vintage originals, with 24 teeth and a 32-thread turn, a perfect fit for USA knobs, including DiMarzio, Fender®, and Gibson®. Includes two nuts, one dress washer, and a lock washer for easy installation. All pot casings are custom-plated for easy soldering.

Note, these are direct replacements for the standard 3/8-inch (9.525mm) holes found on most Fenders and Gibsons. Some enlargement may be required for non-standard or import-specific hole diameters.
