a
Essential Les Paul guitar upgrade!
apenko 01.06.2021
Upgrading the potentiometers in any guitar can have big influence on sound (by my experiences and ear). Using quality potentiometers is essential or much desired.

TAD products are now well known for their quality and consistency, since they take a bit more detailed QC.

Those CTS potentiometers made for TAD are of great built and quality. They will last and upgrade the sound of any LP style guitar where they are used.
The friction of the potentiometer is in the middle range. Not soft and not hard. But it's leaning towards soft friction.

Quality genuine CTS pots

Vintage taper means it has very low resistance when turning the knob. Some might not like that as it's not smooth/slow/buttery in feel like the ones on modern Gibson guitars...
