CTS500-B52 CTS 500K Linear Taper Potentiometer – Split Shaft (USA Made)

The CTS500-B52 is a high-quality 500K linear taper potentiometer, designed for precise and consistent control in electric guitar circuits. Manufactured in the USA by CTS, this pot is a trusted choice for guitar techs, builders, and players upgrading their electronics.

Unlike audio taper pots, the linear taper provides an even, gradual response, making it especially well-suited for tone controls where smooth roll-off is essential.

The split shaft (fine knurl) design allows for easy installation of push-fit knobs, while the robust CTS construction ensures long-lasting durability and dependable performance.

Perfect for guitar upgrades, repairs, and custom builds—particularly for instruments with humbuckers.
