Are pots from PRS Accessories the same as used in S2 models?

[Henry2]

I want to replace a scratchy Schecter volume pot with the same pot I have in my S2 Standard 24, which I really like.

Anyone know whether the pots sold here are what is used in the S2 guitar line?

Many thanks!

The pot listed there is the core pot, which is a higher spec than the S2. The S2 volume pots are from Jin Sung, who is an OEM provider. I haven't seen their stuff for sale aftermarket.

I think you'd be quite happy with the core PRS pot. I just sat here alternating between spinning one of those and a Jin Sung from an S2 and they feel close. The core pot is better built and should last for a long, long time.

Even better! I figured since it said only "PRS designed" that it might not be part of the Core line.

Yes, they are made by CTS for PRS. The construction is a little bit different from other CTS pots, which is how they get that easy spinning action.
