AxLabs250K Audio Taper Solid 3/8" Shaft Medium 3/4" Length Potentiometer
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For an electric guitar using a 250K audio-taper control, this AxLabs pot combines a medium 3/4-inch solid shaft with a machined brass sleeve and reinforced retainer ring. The moving parts use three grease types for ultra-smooth operation, helping keep control changes deliberate at the knob. A nickel-plated steel housing is intended to make soldering easier. It is most commonly used with single-coil pickups and is positioned for guitar upgrades or custom builds.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Installing a 250K control in a single-coil electric-guitar project.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars requiring a shaft length other than 3/4 inch.
