About
I’m a big fan of CTS pots, I personally use the 450 series pots every working day on builds, pre-wired kits and in-house repairs, they're my go to pot brand/range.
This premium '450' series pot features a +/-10% tolerance in regards to it's resistance. It features a longer life-span brass shaft and bushing with a graphite wiper. Each pot comes complete with a 32UNEF-2A mount nut, a flat dress washer and star tooth grip washer. Need to space the mounting thread for a more flush fit? Then you may require an additional mount nut to achieve that, those can be purchased additionally HERE.
This specific pot features the standard short (CTS brass bushing '3' spec) mounting thread length, and is split shaft trim. You'll perhaps most commonly find and use these on guitars where the pot mounts through the top. The split shaft basically means these will suit control knobs that secure in place via a push-to-fit design, more specifically suit control knobs with a 0.236" / 5.99mm diameter and 24 teeth/splines.
