Review: Quality part that will upgrade your guitar - High quality part at a great price Review: 500k volume pot is perfect for Telecaster guitar with custom wired Texas Specials! - These pots turned out to be just the ticket for my Telecaster! I have a 5-way super switch which allows me to have 5 settings: Bridge, B&N parallel out of phase, B&N parallel in phase, B&N series in phase, Neck. The old pots were cheap and didn't have a good sweep to them. They rolled off way too quickly, leaving most of the sweep empty and doing nothing. So I decided to upgrade. The old pots were both 250k, as is the case with most Strat and Tele pots. I was researching different types of Telecaster pots when I ran across this Hot Rod set. I've got a set of Texas Special Tele pickups in my guitar, so I thought the high output of those pickups would be well served by a 500k volume pot instead of the traditional 250k. I decided to go for it, and I'm so glad I did! After putting these pots in my guitar, it sounds better than ever! In addition to the higher output, which I had expected, I also have much more of an even balance between pickup settings. Before, the 'humbucking in series' and 'parallel out of phase' settings were both quite a bit weaker and thinner than the other settings. With these new Hot Rod pots, everything comes through loud and clear! The 'humbucking in series' setting has a richness and thickness that it just didn't have with the old pots. It sounds as loud and full as the parallel settings! Same with the 'out of phase' setting. The pickups sound like they have a whole new personality! And my tone rolls on and off smoothly and gradually so I can dial in all sorts of different tones, unlike with my old tone pot. I couldn't be happier! I f you're looking for an affordable way to upgrade your tone, I highly recommend this set of Hot Rod pots! ## Features - Hot Rod Telecaster or P Bass CTS Potentiometer Set - 500k Volume Pot - 250K Tone Pot - Increased Output while maitaining normal tone control - US Spec Solid 1/4" Shafts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01H7X8YAK | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,575 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #705 in Electric Guitar Electronics | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (29) | | Date First Available | June 17, 2016 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | AXE033 | | Material Type | Aluminum | ## Images ![2 CTS Full Size Solid Shaft Pots 1x 500KA 1x 250KA Hot Rod Set Potentiometers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RgrtG+TbL.jpg) ![2 CTS Full Size Solid Shaft Pots 1x 500KA 1x 250KA Hot Rod Set Potentiometers - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vFAzaqCTL.jpg) ![2 CTS Full Size Solid Shaft Pots 1x 500KA 1x 250KA Hot Rod Set Potentiometers - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xTOitzSGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality part that will upgrade your guitar *by V***O on December 21, 2025* High quality part at a great price ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 500k volume pot is perfect for Telecaster guitar with custom wired Texas Specials! *by K***R on April 28, 2021* These pots turned out to be just the ticket for my Telecaster!
