Excellent

ISBM 15.01.2016

I have these pots with a high output (passive) Seymour Duncan pickup and they are very responsive. It really enhances the sound at every turn and I may well use these on future guitar projects as standard. I tend to use more allen key fitted knobs than push fit, though did try a spare and it was fine.

No concerns with build quality - 1. Because Fender know better than to pass off shoddy equipment. & 2. They feel well made and after two months of use show no signs of wear. I'll get to see how they feel on stage in a few weeks!

Do bear in mind that these are larger than some cheap Chinese pots and a bit of filing may be required to get them to fit correctly.

A little hard but easy to loosen

vittopascu 05.02.2018

I mounted this pot on my 1986 japanese strat.
I had to enlarge the hole in the pickguard a bit because at that time the holes were smaller, I also needed to add one extra nut on the back side of the pickguard to set it at the right height, otherwise the volume pot would stick out too much.
The poti is quite stiff, a lot more than I like, but it's easily fixed with a drop of wd-40 through the little hole on the side of the metal housing.
As far as sound is concerned it's all good.

it is essential to have good potentiometers

Fheder 22.05.2019

The final sound depends on many factors, it is essential to have good potentiometers to have a good guitar sound, in the sound chain having bad electronics can mean worse sound, although you have good microphones or good amplifiers.
with these potentiometers I hear less noise, besides that the sound quality has improved, I listen more highs and more Lows than I did before
