Potentiometer - CTS, Audio, Knurled Shaft, .375" Bushing, DPDT
Add a switch to your guitar using the existing holes in your pick guard or body. High quality CTS Push/Pull DPDT switches can be used to add phase switching, coil tapping, series/parallel, etc. to your guitar without having to drill the holes for a mini switch. The shorter body height and side mounted contacts require far less space (1” depth ) making them ideal for thinner bodied guitars with a more shallow body cavity. These Split-shaft pots are compatible with 24- spline, fine knurled knobs and feature a precise audio taper. Hex nuts, flat washer, and lock washer are included with each pot. CTS DPDT pots are available in three types for different applications. Common uses are as follows:
- 500 kΩ potentiometers (R-VC500KA-DPDT) are commonly used when wiring humbuckers.
- 250 kΩ potentiometers (R-VC250KA-DPDT) are commonly used when wiring single-coil pickups
- 500 kΩ long-shaft potentiometers (R-VC500KA-DPDT-LS) are commonly used when wiring carved top solid body guitars

I have a gibson style guitar. Will the .375 pot work or do i buy the .75
Asked by Anonymous on June 27th, 2017.
If you have a Les Paul style guitar the length on these will be too short and you will want to go with the .75" option.
Gibsons with flat tops and thinner bodies like SG's usually take pots with the shorter .375" (3/8") bushings.

Do these pots have a tension that is similar to other CTS pots commonly uxed in amplifiers, or do they spin more freely like the alpha push/pull pots? I would like a push pull pot that has a consistent feel to the rest of the pots across my amplifier front panel.
Asked by Anonymous on November 1st, 2016.
Yes, these have the same tension that you would come to expect from CTS. There is definitely some resistance when you turn the pot.

What series CTS pot IS this?
Asked by Anonymous on May 25th, 2017.
This is a 450 series pot but CTS does not have a spec sheet for it on their website. What specs we do have are listed above in the description.

The unit is far larger than it appears online. I was hoping to use it in a solid body guitar to split coils on a humbucking pickup, but it's way too large to fit in the available space. Of no use for tight cavities on certain solid body guitars, such as Carvin DC series.
excellent
I work as a Guitar tech and I love this pots for split coils projects, I have used a wide variety of brands but I always recomend CTS pots to all my clients.
