CTS 450G Potentiometer 3/4" Bushing 250K Ohm

The basics:   CTS potentiometers are the standard for quality in guitars. Short shaft potentiometers are used for through pickguard applications and the thinner side of a carved top guitar. We carry values of 250k and 500k ohms. Generally 500k is used for volume and tone on Humbucker equipped guitars, and the 250k for  volume or tone for single coil equipped guitars, though there are certainly exceptions to these guidelines.  The Taper Question:  In our years of experience in the industry, there are a good number of people who don’t know anything about the Taper on the potentiometer, in fact, maybe even the majority of our customers haven’t given it a lot of consideration. Let’s dive in on it.  A lot of us complain about how our amp is quiet and then after turning the volume just a little bit, it’s blasting us away. At least part of this phenomena is due to the taper of the potentiometer in use, and the same thing happens with our guitars in a way that we can even better isolate the s
