The Korena take

For an electric guitar with single-coil pickups, this AxLabs 250K control pot pairs a completely linear taper with an ultra-smooth turning action. The construction combines a machined brass shaft sleeve, reinforced retainer ring, and nickel-plated steel housing. Lubrication at different moving parts is intended to reduce friction, and the housing offers enhanced solder grip for installation work. It is a 250K linear-taper option for a single-coil control upgrade or custom guitar build.
