AxLabs 500K Linear Taper Potentiometer
AxLabs potentiometers are engineered specifically for electric guitars, leveraging decades of design experience to deliver precise control. Featuring a completely linear taper, these potentiometers provide an exceptionally smooth, musical sweep without the rotational lag commonly found in standard controls, ensuring consistent and predictable swells.
Built for durability and performance, each pot features a machined brass shaft sleeve and a specialized three-grease lubrication blend across moving components for ultra-smooth rotation. A dedicated retainer ring reinforces the shaft to maximize structural integrity and minimize operational friction, while the nickel-plated steel housing ensures easy solder adhesion and a vintage-correct appearance.
Designed for versatility across genres from clean to high-gain overdrive, this 500K potentiometer comes complete with the necessary mounting nuts and washers for quick installation into standard 3/8-inch guitar mounting holes.
