Alpha Metric Mini Potentiometer With Short Bushing 500 kohm

Review By Kirk Janowiak
Perfect replacement for Import Strats
NOTE that these are short shaft bushing pots! They will not fit a Les Paul type instrument and "just" fit well through panels and typical pickguards (like Strats). This gives the the typical control knob a lower profile without having to add spacers under the pickguard.
These Alpha pots are better than those that generally come in on modern imports (and really old imports), so can be considered an incremental "upgrade" to the cheaper non-Alpha pots installed on many guitars imported from China & Indonesia.
They are smooth and fairly consistent, and the tolerance specs come in closer to stated values than most of those cheaper pots, so they are easier to match up when using two volume controls on a humbucker-equipped guitar, for instance.
