The Korena take

Designed for electric guitars with single-coil pickups, this AxLabs 250K potentiometer uses a linear taper for volume control and linear swells. Its solid, machined-brass 3/8-inch shaft has a medium 3/4-inch length, with a retainer ring for reinforcement. Three specialized greases support ultra-smooth rotation. The nickel-plated steel housing is described as easy to solder, making this a clear option when your build calls for these shaft dimensions and a 250K linear control.
