Bourns 500K Pots
While Bourns makes clearly the best mini-pot in the business with it's hydraulic-feel and beautiful taper functionality, these standard sized pots lack the same feel. They're great in practice and overall function, but the feel of the pot when turning them is one of an almost scratchy-scrape feel which unfortunately isn't at the same quality-level as their mini-pots.
I've purchased these now on several separate occasions, and all have the same scrape-feel, so while the mini-pots are always my first choice, these would definitely be a second choice if no other option was available. They're good, but not amazing.Read full review...

Better than CTS by a long shot
Completely excellent product...these pots will make your axe sound amazing. Heavy duty, extremely smooth mechanics and response. I used 500ka w/.022 100v orange drop and my guitars never sounded this good. Read full review...

Get 'Em!
I bought this set to upgrade from the original equipment pots on my Jay Turser SG. The difference in the quality of volume and tone control was immediately heard. Next guitar that needs an upgrade I will be ordering more of these units!Read full review...

Original Bourns Guitar Pots
These are the smoothest potentiometers I've used in any of my pesonal mods. While lightweight, they have great build quality, and in the end, great sound. Highly recommended.

Awesome Potentiometer 👌
This is a great value! Used two; one for a tone pot; one for a volume pot, on an electronics upgrade on our lap steel! Works perfectly and really increased the sound quality!!👌 Would definitely recommend!😃Read full review...

Nearly perfect
The taper could be gentler, but otherwise these are outstanding. The quality is leaps and bound ahead of most OEM I’ve seen.

Bourns 500k Audio Taper Pots
Good full size pots, spec'd exactly the same at 506K each. They both feel identical in rotation and force required. I do think they feel a little "dry" not in sound by in physical rotation. This feeling is not audible by ear, nor through the amp - just a dry feeling. Will probably purchase again.Read full review...

Excellent build quality
Very smooth and durable pot. The lugs are fastened to the body better than most of the pots out there. Highly recommend!
