CTS® Electrocomponents And WD® Custom Modified Series 450 Potentiometer ±9% Tolerance 275 kohm - 1 Mohm
WD Music Products® developed this high-quality potentiometer with CTS® to offer you exceptional performance in electronics for your instrument. These are NOT the same CTS pots that other companies stock and sell. These are developed using ±9% tolerances and a value at 10% over the standard ohms rating (275 kohms for 250, and 550 kohms for 500). This ensures not only optimum performance, but guarantees your potentiometers will always be at least the value stated.
Compared to many others using 20% tolerances (where you can be over spec, but in most cases far below). These specifications ensure good tone from your pickups. We've also added brass components and a high quality wiper versus what comes standard on most run of the mill potentimeters to ensure long life, quality and consistent performance.

Some of the best potentiometers I’ve ever used!
I’ve been using these potentiometers for the last few months for all of my harness builds. When I first tested these on my own personal SG Jr. I almost couldn’t believe how incredible they were. I definitely gained some more clarity and punch to the tone of my guitar and the taper on these is flawless. You can roll all the way down to like 1 and still have a slight tone coming through. It’s very gradual and smooth and that 1 to 0 is a soft fade away and the same from coming in at 0 to 1 it’s a nice soft fade in. These pots are very robust in their construction and have a nice tension to them when turning the shaft. The CTS 450 has always been one of my favorite pots to use and to have that loaded with WD’s recipe is perfection. The other thing that I’d fantastic with these pots is your ground work will look amazing as the casing basically sucks the solder in place without any problems. These are easily the best I’ve ever built with and my clients agree.

CTS modified pots. Audio taper.
These pots are great. Smooth feel. As you adjust the volume, it responds accordingly to what you would expect. No sudden drop offs in gain through its travel.
Highly recommended.

Better pots
I am a tech and have made these my standard pot for new circuits/upgrades for clients. I appreciate the tight spec and performance to $ value and that they have always been in stock when I need them

Best CTS Pots ever and WD Music is an Amazing Company!
These are the best CTS pots out there, bar none, Higher readings and super smooth taper. They add clarity, reduce muddiness and are very well made. Brass threads, brass shafts and carbon track. Many other CTS pots are not nearly this good of quality. I use these 550K 9% pots on all my Jonesyblues wiring harnesses for Les Paul, SG 335 etc.
I have been dealing with WD Music for many, many years now and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality guitar parts or custom made pick guards. They have a wide selection of products and their new website is very easy to use. Check them out today and tell em Jonesy sent you!

WD for CTS pots
WD is the only supplier with the correct Spec CTS pots, both for the actual taper, and the shaft type. Other companies spec the wrong shaft and don’t fit Gibson knobs properly- (Gibson knobs will stick up too far above the guitar.) These from WD are the ones that fit and work correctly- I’ve spec’d and bought tens of thousands of CTS pots directly myself...
