Our Friends at SixStringSupplies, in the UK, have sent us some samples of their Custom Spec'd CTS Pots; designed in conjunction with CTS, featuring brass shaft, brass bushing, carbon track, bakelite wiper, easy solder cover and a specifically chosen taper ensuring a nice, consistent and usable volume/tone sweep.

Check them out here: https://www.sixstringsupplies.co.uk/pots

We have one set of each of the following to give away to anyone in Australia wanting to provide formal feedback:

2 x 250k solid shaft for Tele
3 x 250k split shaft for Strat
4 x 500k short shaft LP/etc…
4 x 500k long shaft LP/etc…

If you are looking to upgrade your Pots and are willing and able to provide some considered feedback on how they perform, maybe even a sound or video comparison, then say the word and we can send you a set.

Based on the feedback it may be another product we can add to the site.

Hi,

I've been buying pots, caps, etc from Six String Supplies over the last two years. They're amazing, high quality and customer support is fantastic.

Kind Regards,

SixStringSupplies also have a very good YouTube channel showing how to wire up lots of standard guitar configurations. Well worth subscribing to it.

I can do the tele set Adam if you don't already have a taker. This looks like fun and I have a PBG thinline begging me to build it, I've got teles with some other CTS pots, one with Gotoh pots and I slap some PBG stock ones in any of my teles as a comparison.

Hi Andy, sorry, haven't checked in for a while. I will send you the Tele set on Monday.

Hi Adam, after reading this thread I got on their website and bought pots, switch, wire and capacitor to upgrade to the 7 tone strat setup wiring diagram on their website.

I've always liked CTS pots, they usually tend to feel very smooth when you rotate the shafts that the control knob attaches to, definitely a good upgrade for most guitars.

OK, so nobody put their hand up to try the 500K pots & I like the 250K Strat set so I have asked for the long shaft set to test & use in a Lester solid body build.
I'll do some testing when they arrive & post my findings in a new thread.

I would have done, but I'm not in Australia.

Hi Adam,
if those short shaft 500k pots are still available, I'll try them out, cheers.
