250K Custom Taper Potentiometer
Standard guitar pots limit musical expression, only starting to deliver sound around “3” on the dial and never getting much louder above “7”. DiMarzio’s custom taper pot provides the solution, delivering the same ratio of signal-to-turn as an actual 10-position actuator. This provides players with audiophile-like control over dramatic volume swells and signal gain, allowing the guitar’s full range to be utilized. Each pot is rated to 10,000 cycles at 2,000 cycles per hour, and tested to meet DiMarzio's quality standards.
DiMarzio also understands that a pot has to feel as good as it sounds. The tech talk is that we engineered them with a low friction wiper pass and proprietary balance-damping lubricant. In plain terms, that means slick pinky flips and a pot that will still hold at any sweet spot on the dial. So, whether you just crank the guitar to 10, dizzy your audience with violin-esque swells, or prefer to control your gain through the guitar’s volume knob, DiMarzio’s pots put the control back in your hands.
The split shaft and bushings are made from machined brass, just like the vintage originals, with 24 teeth and a 32-thread turn, a perfect fit for USA knobs, including DiMarzio, Fender®, and Gibson®. We also include two nuts, one dress washer and a lock washer for easy installation. All of our pot casings are custom-plated for easy soldering.
*Please note, these are direct replacements for the standard 3/8-inch (9.525mm) holes found on most Fender and Gibson Guitars. Some enlargement may be required for non-standard or import-specific hole diameters.
Please refer to our wiring diagrams for detailed schematics.
