Replacing the pots in my Korean-made Schecter, I noticed that the knurls on this knob work perfectly for the metric knobs that came with it, but on the other hand, the shaft diameter was the US size (the existing metric hole was too small), so I had to ream out an extra 1/32 of an inch for it to fit - strange combo of specs! But I wired it up for an out-of-phase switch and it works perfectly. Review: I find these pots to be clean, reliable, well constructed & most versatile with their DPDT switch - I use these in all of my guitars as a tone pot while spliting coils on humbuckers. Sometimes I use them for volume pots that double as a way to selectively activate a treble bleed, phase shift or other function. There are a lot of tricks you can do with the added functionality of the DPDT switch sitting beneath the pot! They are clean and quiet, very versatile and the taper is perfect for volume swells. They have a very solid, high quality feel and I have installed them in over a dozen of my guitars. I recommend them to my guitar playing friends and colleagues when it comes up inconversation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 209 Reviews | ## Images ![Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y6x9pIzFL.jpg) ![Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fzWjLPLsL.jpg) ![Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ox3BcbzJL.jpg) ![Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gSzmePe2L.jpg) ![Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OQJsJNVCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these pots work (height, diameter, etc) on an 2016 epiphone sg special?** A: Yes ..they should retrofit with no problem **Q: These are for volume?** A: Yes, Audio Taper potentiometers are used primarily for volume and can also be used for tone. Audio taper gives a smoother roll-off or transition through its range of operation as opposed to linear potentiometers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great solid pots *by T***D on July 1, 2025* Works great, solid quality, feels good and substantial with smooth turning - not loose at all, but also not too stiff.

I've never had a Pot fail in my life. Went back to Bourns for the win.. They have a super light action that you can roll with just your pinky.. They are easier to wire up also.. ## Frequently Bought Together - Genuine Bourns 500K (Pack of 2) Split Shaft Push-Pull Pot for Electric Guitar - Set of Four (4X) Bourns 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Low Friction Potentiometers - Orange Drop Capacitors .022uf / 200v, 715P Series, Tone Capacitor for Electric Guitar & Bass, Pack of 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72736949-genuine-bourns-500k-pack-of-2-split-shaft-push-pull](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72736949-genuine-bourns-500k-pack-of-2-split-shaft-push-pull) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
