    I spot checked both values of this series and both were marked 450G.

    These are flat on the back and the shaft portion of the pot is not exposed.

    The 250K option is a very popular choice for replacing the volume potentiometer in a Stratocaster.

    High quality and measured spot on. Torque is great and no wobble

    These are the high quality pots I expect from CTS. They’re beefy, nice audio taper, and a slight resistance when turning. The improved difference in tone is quite noticeable compared to alpha, bourns. Like a Domestic guitar vs Import. Also AmplifiedParts has the best price and doesn’t stamp their name like other Co.

    Always the expected result.

    I used these pots - three 500K and one 250K - to replace the original controls in my 1967 Guild Starfire IV. It was a tedious job - getting the old pots and wiring out and back in place through the F-hole but working carefully I persevered. Volume and tone controls are now working great again.

    I would advise checking the dimensions, values and tapers of your existing potentiometers before selecting and purchasing replacement parts.

    Sir. I had to drill the holes bigger to fit the pot in. The resistance& Tolerance is not good enough for a guitar control. There either all the way on or all the way off. There is no in between setting with them. I would not buy them again. Thank You Walter J Lindsley.PS The knobs don't fit the shaft.
