CTS Metric A500K POTs
Overall quality is ok. There are some issues. For my project the shaft needed was short, however, these were just a barely able to accomplish the needed height for a Burny LP. They are just a thread or two away from not being able to be used, so if you have a Greco, Orville, or Burny LP Style these will work, but it is tight on the Tone side. The roll on these was not as smooth as I was hoping but it is better than stock dime sized pots. Build quality is in question. I had one of the shafts collapse into the POT when the hat was being pressed onto the splines. Unfortunately I need to replace that one again so be gentle when pressing the knobs back on - it is extremely tight fitting. Overall I think a 6 out of 10 for the pots. They do function well, but it appears I received one with construction issues or a defect.

CTS Metric Pots
great upgrade for my ES 335 Projects
-
Great to replace EMG
Perfect fit for a ESP that came with EMG pickups and smaller holes for the smaller diameter shaft in the "import" pots that come with active pickups. I wish they would make split coil option. Smooth, it feels solid, great product!

Nice an easy install , was what i expected , sounds great
i wanted to put the best in my guitar , 70 years of rock and roll as a legacy i think says it all , CTS was there for all of it not to mention all the country pluckers.

CTS A500k metric pot
Have bought several of these to replace bad pots in Korean made guitars and these are definitely a huge upgrade no more noisy pots..nice and quiet ..very smooth mechanics..highly recommend

Great For Imports!
Used CTS Metric pots for my Firefly 338 and they worked great and fit great with no drilling or reaming of the body. Not a big issue, but the shaft can be a bit longer than the import pots, and may need extra washers.

Great pot that fits metric guitars perfectly
Finding these were a surprise to me. I wish I'd known about them before I reamed out my beautiful Jackson soloist to fit standard sized pots. Quality is as expected from CTS, smooth and measured very close to spec on the meter. Thanks for making these available!

Actually surprised!
So I wish I knew about the metric cts pots a long time ago. I have Korean made ltd viper 400 that came with emgs. I wanted to convert to passive pickups. These fit in that guitar without any drilling. In the past I always had to drill the holes to get the pot in. These will work for an overseas made guitar.
