### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    These won't fit through an F hole, but Nacho Music is way cool.

I have to give props to Nacho Music. They are the type of company you want to do business with. Very attentive and eager to please. Now  have to warn potential buyers about this size pot from CTS. It will not work with a lot of semi-hollow bodies because they are too big. Fear not though, CTS makes a mini pot just the same as these. Those are the ones you want to buy if you want to stuff them through an F hole. I did not contact Nacho Music about the problem because CTS pots are inexpensive and I just put them in storage for another guitar repair or swap out. I don't know of CTS marks the exact ohmage rating on the plastic around the pots or that was Nacho, but I appreciated the detail. I will continue to buy from Nacho Music no problemo...LOL

    The real deal
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2017*

Great stuff!  Installed these in a Chinese Les Paul knockoff and they transformed a dog into a very good guitar.  (At least one of the OEM guitar pots was defective.)  Since these are US standard I had to enlarge the metric holes in the guitar, but this was no problem at all.  Also needed to get new knobs for the thicker shafts with different knurling pitch.  I knew this going in, so it was not an issue.  Also used 50s wiring instead of the modern style, and treble bleed circuits (1.5 nf capacitor with a parallel 100k resistor, between input and output of each of the volume pots).  Pots have a great feel now, and no scratchy noise when adjusting them.

    Good deal.

Good price. Nice packaging. Even listed the resistances on each pot. All above 500k too.
