Fender 500K Control Solid Shaft

500K pot suitable as a replacement (especially if it is a like for like replacement, in a fender) or as a component in a new build. It's advisable to use a reputable wiring diagram and to use a good quality solder to avoid any dry joints and to give you the best circuit (therefore sound) quality.

It is also important to note the capacitance of the capacitor to make sure that it follows your diagram.

I have found that these solid shaft pots work best with a grub screw type knob .

Overall the pot has a good build quality (to be expected from fender) and has a very smooth mechanical action. I'm not sure how these handle over time but I'm sure as it is a fender product it will last well.
