CTS 500k pots

Will I need short or long shafts

You will need the long shaft pots.

All the USA line LPs with carved tops use long shaft pots.

It doesn’t say on the one that’s in there. Will it work if I put a 500 in ?

Yes. Usually tone pots are 500k. It’s the volume pots that can sometimes be 300k.

Or you can put a new 500K harness in and be done with it! Ask Jonesy he'll set you up.

Do you have a multi-meter? If your volume pots are 300K I'd replace the lot.

Even if the factory pot is a 300k, if I was gonna replace it, I’d go with a 500k.
