I use Bourns variable resistors exclusively in my guitar repairs.I've been using them for decades going back to my days in the military where I used a lot of Bourns mil-spec pots.

Capacitors and Pots are a personal choice. These are low effort to turn which is another preference plus or minus. Regardless a good product if it suits your needs.

Excellent quality pots. Good smooth operation with even adjustments. The only thing that some may not like is that there is no resistance when turning the pots in either direction. I know this will be a deal breaker for some but it doesn't bother me, they are nice and smooth and seem to have a broader range than the original ones.

I like these because they are low resistance turning knobs. Makes it easier for me to do volume swells with my little finger. If you like more resistance to prevent accidental turning then you might prefer CTS pots.

good pots measuring around 270k but have limited taper they kinda go from on to off much quicker. but are easy to solder and cheap, bournes also makes vipots so they are a good company

The pots came with two nuts and two washers per pot. Makes it easy to get the correct depth fit.

bourns are the best in my opinion. functionality of cts is abt the same, but the bourns just feel nicer and smoother to me. all of them, be it long or short shaft, 250 or 500k, and normal pot/push-pull...the bourns slightly edge cts for me. although nothing against cts. they are quality as well

The best pots I've found are made by Bourns and CTS (wider variety from CTS) .... For standard audio taper pots, the Bourns are usually a lot easier to turn with a minimum of resistance.

All work as intended with proper shaft heights and import knurl heads.

No more scratchy pots. I will add if you have a older Yamaha, you need the long thread pots. I have them in an old RBX Yamaha.

The shafts were quite long for use as vol and tone controls on a Strat. Considering you only need to go through a relatively thin pick guard, I had to use additional nuts and washers to get to the right height. Also, there isn't much resistance on the pots themselves. Often, I find myself accidentally turning down my volume while playing. I'll end up pulling the knobs and placing a small rubber o-ring under each knob to fix this problem. Otherwise, all is good!
