High-quality Bourns Guitar Potentiometers - Choose Resistance and Pack Size

These are quality Bourns pots that work great for volume and tone controls on cigar box guitars, homemade instruments and even conventional guitars. Choose your needed resistance rating and pack size!

These pots include a washer and nut for mounting. These are high-quality pots that will last a very long time, and they have a nice firm turning torque, not like those cheap pots that turn very easily. On a guitar, you want a pot with some torque to the turn, so that you don't drastically change your volume every time the knob gets bumped. See specifications below for more detailed information. Please note, Bourns has many varieties of potentiometers, including some made for high-end electric guitars - these are more of their standard line; please review the photos and specs below before purchasing.
