The Korena take

Built for electric-guitar control circuits, this 500K linear-taper pot gives the knob a fully linear response for volume swells. Its split 3/8-inch, medium-length shaft is paired with a machined brass sleeve, retainer ring, and three lubricants to keep rotation smooth and reduce friction. The nickel-plated steel housing provides a secure surface for soldering. It is optimized for humbucker-equipped guitars.
