The Story
Bartolini 500K Premium Pot, 10% Audio Taper, 19mm Body, 6mm Spline Shaft (Passive Humbucker Tone)
500K pots are common for dual humbucker guitars. 10% Audio Taper (10A) is ideal for Passive Tone. It is a little less linear than a standard 15A taper. 15A taper is standard as a compromise so the same value can be used for volume and tone in cost optimized instruments. For maximum performance, a 30A taper is used for volume with a 10A taper used for passive tone.
Standard 19mm "mini" body.
6mm Spline Shaft is the most flexible type because it can be used with a push-on plastic knob or with a sleeve with knobs for 1/4" solid shaft.
