A500K long pot for Gibson Les Paul guitar tone volume 500K log potentiometer

This is a full size (24mm diameter) 500K Ohm Logarithmic (audio taper A500K) potentiometer with split / splined shaft suitable for use in Les Paul guitars and for their many clones, or other guitars with humbucker dual coil pickups with controls designed to be mounted in a wooden body. Should fit all Epiphone Les Paul models except the Elitist.

Note that some genuine Gibson Les Pauls use an internal sub-plate to mount the pots on, and these pots will NOT fit those guitars (which require an extra long 18mm or 3/4" thread on the shaft). It is well worth checking what is inside your guitar before you buy, as Gibson are notorious for using a variety of pot types in the different versions of the Les Paul... including switched pots which should be fairly obvious as they have extra wiring apart from the usual three wires. However, these pots should be suitable for the following Gibson models/Years (we still advise checking!);

Please note that this pot with an overall 18mm shaft length including the thread is not suitable for mounting on plastic or metal plates such as in a Strat or Tele, as these require a shorter mounting shaft. Please see our 250K and 500K short 15mm shaft pot listings for suitable potentiometers for guitars with pots mounted on thinner plastic or metal plates.
