CTS is my goto Pot brand
Used as a tone pot on a pbass, pair with a 250k on the volume. Makes a unique tone with plenty of range. Cts makes great pots.

Epiphone Les Paul Pot Replacement
Works as expected. Replaced a B500k pot on an Epiphone Les Paul Custom made in Korea.

Decent enough
Decent but you have to watch out. Some of these have play in them up near 10 or down near 0 and tha can be annoying. Other than that they are fine, don’t let them get too hot when installing

Extremely simple install and the perfect basic 500k pot
If you need a basic 500K pot, this is the perfect product. I used it for tone. Love the taper, love the sound, and love the feel of the turn (very steady and just the right amount of resistance to turn). Great product, can't go wrong with CTS Pots- I'm super impressed with them. Thanks.

I like this thing because its not working normally. I think its defective but in a good way. Lets say normal is volume 0 -10, what I'm getting is 5 -15.. I don't have off anymore but I got some screaming output. The treble tone is crazy bright, harmonics just sing like a choir. Using it on an old Gibson SG with a single DiMarzio super distortion in a one knob setup. I have a very very loud guitar now.

Work fine and easy enough to solder and install. Quality construction, smooth and quiet operation. Maybe too much hype about this brand though. American hole sizing.
