    Great to replace EMG

    Perfect fit for a ESP that came with EMG pickups and smaller holes for the smaller diameter shaft in the "import" pots that come with active pickups. I wish they would make split coil option. Smooth, it feels solid, great product!

    i wanted to put the best in my guitar , 70 years of rock and roll as a legacy i think says it all , CTS was there for all of it not to mention all the country pluckers.

    Great For Imports!

    Posted by Norm on Oct 5, 2019

    Used CTS Metric pots for my Firefly 338 and they worked great and fit great with no drilling or reaming of the body. Not a big issue, but the shaft can be a bit longer than the import pots, and may need extra washers.

    Great pot that fits metric guitars perfectly

    Finding these were a surprise to me. I wish I'd known about them before I reamed out my beautiful Jackson soloist to fit standard sized pots. Quality is as expected from CTS, smooth and measured very close to spec on the meter. Thanks for making these available!

    Actually surprised!

    So I wish I knew about the metric cts pots a long time ago. I have Korean made ltd viper 400 that came with emgs. I wanted to convert to passive pickups. These fit in that guitar without any drilling. In the past I always had to drill the holes to get the pot in. These will work for an overseas made guitar.

    Not 500k

    I measured the value of the pot and give me 465k. The neck pickup sounds so muddy.

    Industry Standard

    These are supposed to be the "best" and I'm using them to replace the crap the Chinese put in the imports. Did the job. Now, about those pickups .. . ..
