250K audio potentiometer, standard length bushing .375", 3/8" diameter

Value:
Typically 250K pots are used for single coil pickups and 500K pots for humbucker pickups. The bigger the resistence value, the brighter the sound will be/ less highs will bleed off. 1MEG can be used to make humbuckers sound brighter.

Taper:
The taper of a pot refers to the way its resistance changes as the shaft is rotated. A linear taper pot will work in a linear way related to shaft rotation. As the human ear is not linear in response to increasing volume an audio or logarithmic pot will work best for volume applications.

Shaft:
A split, knurled shaft will hold most knobs. Sometimes the knob is mounted using a set screw. You should order a solid shaft pot, or align the set screw with the split for correct mounting.

Bushing:
The standard bushing diameter is 3/8" or 9,5mm, used in most made in USA guitars. Another industry standard is M8, as used by guitar builders outside of the USA. When space is limited mini pots are used with a shaft diameter of 7mm.
The standard bushing length is .375" for inch type pots and 10mm for metric type pots. Using two nuts it is very easy to set the correct bushing length for knob placement. Specially for pickguard (ST, PB) or control plate mount (TE, JB) the .250" short bushing will fit perfectly using only one nut.
For use with a thick or carved top (LP USA) you should order a bushing length of .750".

CTS is (and has been since the 50's) a factory standard for most USA brands like Fender and Gibson.

DUE TO ARRIVE!

kill pot potentiometer, machine gun effect, 500K long bushing, M7x0,75 thread 
 
Since rock music began to go wild and loud in the 1960’s the machine-gun sound effect with an electric guitar is one of the most important characteristics. 
 
If you strum a chord, turn the volume of one pickup down the other pickup on and move your toggle fast up and down, it shreds your sound. This is the so called machine-gun sound effect which you can listen in countless rock songs. So far so good – but those radical actions destroyed innumerable toggle switches. 
 
Now, Shadow solved this annoying problem: The SH 124 Kill Pot is a unique potentiometer with a momentary push switch for electric guitars, which momentarily kills the sound by stroking it up and down. By pushing it up and down quickly it creates an extraordinary sound effect which is known from the wild Rock’ n Roll days – you can now create your own machine gun sound effect with your guitar. This preserves your toggle switch and is much more comfortable to handle. 
 
You can install the SH 124 Kill Pot easily in any common electric guitar. Because of its 16 mm bushing, it even suits arch-top guitars. The Kill Pot replaces the standard potentiometer of your electric guitar. It is up to you if you choose to replace your volume or tone pot.
 
Of course, by replacing your standard potentiometer with the SH 124 Kill Pot you do not lose the feature of the old one. You can also control either the volume or tone with the Kill Pot – and additionally it gives you the opportunity to easily create an astonishing sound effect. 
 
The SH 124 guarantees 2 million of those pushes which assures numerous machine-gun sounds. From this point of view, the SH 124 Kill Pot is a real “killer”!
