CTS 250K Pots ... to Identify.  January 31st, 2005, 12:48 PM I'm
assembling my first project Tele (an AM Standard 1995) and am
confused about the volume and tone pots. A local music store
sold me 2 Fender 'no load' pots with a split shaft and 'cts'
punched in the casting. My info has it that the volume pot must
be an 'audio taper' and the tone pot can be just a regular 250K
cts pot. These 2 pots are identical and both come with
caps...hence...these 2 baby's are the same. Please enlighten me.
Thanks! Secondly, I need a bridge. Callaham was my first choice
but they won't have a 3-hole Am Standard bridge for a few weeks.
Can anybody recommend another high end bridge with resonance out
the wazoo???  January 31st, 2005, 03:23 PM hopefully they'd both
be audio taper, since it works for volume or tone.  January

but a no-load is fine for the tone. The no-load totally removes
the pot from the circuit, which means it behaves as if the tone
control weren't
