AllParts EP-0686-000 CTS 500K Long Split Shaft Audio Pot
The AllParts EP-0686-000 is a genuine CTS 500K audio taper potentiometer with a long split shaft — sourced by AllParts and trusted by luthiers and repair techs worldwide. Designed for guitars with thicker body tops, stacked controls, or custom wiring configurations where a standard short shaft pot won't reach.
Why Upgrade to a CTS Pot
CTS potentiometers are the industry benchmark for electric guitar electronics — used as original equipment on many American-made instruments. Compared to generic import pots, CTS pots offer consistent resistance tracking, a smooth logarithmic sweep, and long-term reliability. Upgrading from a worn or cheap pot restores natural, responsive volume and tone control with no scratchy or jumpy behaviour.
