Don't let the low price put you off
I used these on a Aria Pro II L5 style hollowbody guitar, to replace the old scratchy pots , 1 of which was completely dead so I had no sound on the neck pickup.
I wanted full size pots, but they did not fit on that particular guitar because of the small F-holes.
On the multimeter they measured from 485K to 530K which I think is great. I've seen CTS pots that are way worse off spec than these.
The taper also is nice and gradual.
They dont feel too loose like CTS but neither too stiff and slow to turn like Alphas. Just make sure you don't cook them with the soldering gun, then the soft feeling will go away and the pot might be ruined completely.
The shaft, axle and nuts could be made out of brass or something more sturdy, but they work fine anyway, just do not overtighten them.
For metric-mini-pots, that is my choice and I recommend them.

Nice mini pot
The operation is very smooth and slightly on the light side (which some will like and some won't). There is no unwanted noise from operation out of the box, but we'll see how it will hold up in the long run. It is a small body size pot, so it will fit in tighter spaces than a larger size pot. All in all, you can't really expect much more from a potentiometer :)

Pots for my Hohner
I use this pot for my Hohner G2T. The electronics pocket is quite small so i choose the small pot shape. I replaced the original tone and volume pot with it. The pot is very easy to solder, both the contacts and the back of the pot. The pot works fine and is adjusted with a smooth feel. It does not produce any crackle sounds. It appears to be sturdy so i hope it has a good long term durability. I was more or less expecting the small pot shape not to produce enough friction whilst being turned due to the small face but it works just as fine as a big one.

Very good.
Works really well, good replacement for any guitar with metric sized holes.
