Bought four of these to do 50s wiring in a Gibson les Paul custom. Have to say they work great. The easy turn really helps in quick tone adjustments. Far better feel than the CTS or gibson stock pots for feel. The vintage taper works really great on the volume but I’m not 100% sure about how it works on the tone. I still like how they turn so effortlessly so I’ll learn to use them.
The splines fit the historic Gibson gold bell hat knobs very well and the shaft keeps them high above the guitar for that vintage look with the pointers.
I’m gonna order some more for a few other les Paul’s to do.
Five stars!

I have installed these GREAT pots in a few high-end Gibson Les Pauls and they sound and feel GREAT! The only problem is the height of the spline shaft on how high is sticks up above the threads that secure the pot into the guitar. Even while sinking the threads of the shaft as far into the body as possible and not more threads are seen above the nut, the spline shaft still sticks up too high resulting in the installed knobs sticking up WAY too high above the body making it look horrible. To get the knobs down against the body, you have to modify the spline and/or the volume and tone knobs so they sit down closer to the body. Like this: https://blog.philadelphialuthiertools.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/recessed-vs-non-recessed-knob-on-a-Gibson-Traditional.jpg Would AWESOME if the spline shaft would start almost immediately above the threads. If was done, you would be able to adjust the height of the knob by the threads, washers and nuts. This would make this the PERFECT pot! Monotone, since you get this pot made to your specifications, can you run this by CTS? This modification would be a universally desired/appreciated change with both the DIY consumers and us professional techs!!! Message me here for questions. I will be your first customer. How many do I have to buy to make this happen? Thanks! Greg Davis
