Made exclusively for Acme by CTS, these pots were ordered with a 10% tolerance, rather than the 20% or even 30% that's more typical in the industry. Ordered with the following CTS options:
- 10% tolerance assures you get the value you order
- 10% audio-taper this logarithmic curve most closely approximates human perceptions of volume change (not to be confused with tolerance)
- Anti-static lube assures reliable, glitch-free operation
- Solderable cover means no-hassle grounding to the pot's body
- Flat back cover for the right look (Gibson applications and similar)
- .75" bushing length (optimized for rear-routed guitars) ensures sufficient thread length to pass through the face of the guitar and still have enough threads for installation of the washer and nut
