Fender-approved 500k Tone and Volume Pot

For players who like to experiment with their volume and tone knobs, few things beat the smooth response of a high-quality 500k pot. Fender knows this well, and their 500k Solid-shaft Potentiometer is proof. This easy-to-install potentiometer is the same one found in Fender's U.S.- and Mexico-made instruments, delivering rock-solid results for both the volume and tone positions. Sweetwater guitarists have ran this potentiometer through its paces — everything from blooming volume swells to subtle sonic tweaks is possible, made even better with an included .022mf 250V tone capacitor and handy mounting hardware. Give your axe the upgrade it deserves with the Fender 500k Solid-shaft Potentiometer!

Worth it
Bought these to swap out my 250k pots in my tele after installing some Seymour Duncan hot rails in bridge and neck. I like the tele feel but not to crazy about the twang. Originally I left the 250k pots in and it didn't sound right. After changing pots out it sounds really good. A lot more volume and clarity. Some would say it doesn't make any difference but it does.

Good Pot...
These 500k ohm pots measured a little low, at 472k and 477k, but they work great. I put these in a mij Jackson Soloist. Had to ream out the holes in the guitar body from 8mm to 3/8" and drill out my knobs to 1/4". These pots are good quality. They turn smoothly and have no noise. They feel much better than the 30 year old originals. These have a good 3/8" of thread to allow mounting through a wood body, not just a thin pick guard, like most other pots. The included tone capacitor measured perfectly at 22nF and works great.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
