Following on from the addition last week of CTS solid shaft pots we now also have CTS True Vintage Taper pots in stock.
Vintage guitars had pots with a different taper than the 10% now found on most guitars, with a more gradual sweep. Crazy Parts in Germany have had these custom made by CTS to be closer to the taper of those vintage pots and you can now get them directly from us in the UK.
From Crazy Parts’ website:
-Solid Brass thread and shaft
-Real Bakelite Baseplate
-Right earbelonging* curve of 30%** (like the old ones)
-Low turning torque
-Tolerance under 10% (Standard CTS up to 20%)
-Flat back cover for the right look (Gibson applications and similar)
(*I’m pretty sure this is a glitch with the translation from German and should be “sounding”)
**After checking with CTS these are actually 20% taper.
20% custom audio taper for use in both volume and tone positions, we have them available in 250K short solid shaft and 500K split medium and long shafts for you Gibson chaps.
Also, are your CTS pots audio taper or linear ? And long shaft or short shaft? I think these are the last of my questions haha.
I carry both audio and linear and both long and short. The True Vintage are audio taper 20%
