    CTS pots and PRS knobs

    Can anyone tell me if any of the USA knobs fit the standard CTS pots? I've read several posts where the cts pot diameter is slightly smaller than the knob. If so, do they only properly fit the (overpriced) PRS branded pots?

    I want to do something crazy to a CE (concentric dual pot with coil tap)

    I'm looking to do something odd to a CE 24. TLDR I'm looking for a stacked pot that will allow me to control volume and tone with a stacked knob, but still allow me to tap the coils with a push or pull. Long version. I've played Gibson style guitars most of my life, because of this I've...

    Zach Myers Stock Electrics

    Can anyone help me figure out the component values / types in my 2021 ZM? I want to know so I can plan out upgrading some bits... I'm going to assume all four pots are 500k, but are they going to be linear or audio taper? I measured the resistance on the tone pots today, they were 500k, but I...

    PRS 277: Short or Long Pots?

    Hey everyone, I'm planning to upgrade a PRS 277 with some new Bareknuckle pickups. I thought I would swap out the Pots at the same time. Does anyone know which pots this model requires (Long/Short)? Thanks a lot Max

    Dealer changed tone pot on new SE?

    I just bought a new PRS SE custom 24 35th anniversary. After 5 minutes at home playing the tone knob stopped effecting the sound when turning it. A buzzing sound started in the amp also. The buzz remained and tone knob didn't work when turning it. My local dealer changed the tone pot to an...

    PRS S2 pots - PRS vs CTS, others?

    From what I understand, the S2 electronics aren't the best and may need to be replaced at some point. I noticed the PRS push pull pots are selling for 16 bucks. I checked around and saw name brands like CTS, Bourne and Alpha for much less. What do you guys prefer and use when you need to...

    Replacement Pots for 1993 Custom SE 24

    I have a 1993 Custom SE 24 that I would like to replace both pots and switch. I was able to identify the part numbers on the volume and tone knobs but my searchers have not resulted in any specific "direct" replacements for them. I could not tell if one was a 500k and the other a 250k. I am...

    Loose Pots

    I have a 2019 Custom 24-08 and notice that all of the pots feel "sloppy" or loose. I've confirmed that the nuts are tight to the body and that the "slop" is between the pot shaft and the pot body. I would also say they feel a bit dry, as in the wiper and shaft is not lubricated well. Is this...

    Pots for SE Tremonti Custom?

    I have a 2018 PRS SE Tremonti Custom (which I love) that I plan to slowly upgrade to be closer to its American counterpart. So far I have installed locking tuners and the core PRS nut on it. Next up in about a month or so I will be installing the Tremonti Signature pickups (well, my shop will...

    Original S2 pots replaced with core - question about treble

    So I ordered the core volume and push/pull tone pot from PRS HQ. Got and installed them today. Matched everything exactly - moved the resistors to the new tone, etc. The difference is startling. I haven't adjusted the pickups at all - I wanted to sort of A/B with the original, overseas...

    Cheap PRS pots?

    Hey, So, in a previous post I talked about my S2 and came to the conclusion I want to upgrade the pups and electronics. Jury is still out on which pups but I thought I'd order the otherstuff anyway. Everywhere I read it said that PRS pots are like $20 each. Yet, when I search the site, they...
