Fender Pure Vintage Split Shaft Potentiometer 250K - Volume or Tone, 0990830000

This is a genuine Fender part; it works perfectly in transitioning the tonal quality uniformly across the range expected.

I guess I used one, no issues, sound good for me

I bought this to replace a faulty volume pot on a Squier bass. It's bigger than the original pot but will fit into the routing under the mounting plate. I did have to widen the hole for the shaft very slightly, no more than 1mm though, and easily done. Easy to wire in, and feels sturdy and solid, plus operation is smooth. As an addition it comes with a capacitor so it can be wired as a volume or tone pot. Very good item at a good price.

Get price

These went into a squire telecaster I bought they arrived along with capacitors in the bag which other manufacturers don't seem to do I had to drill out bigger holes in the backing plate but that was something which I'd expected but other than that they went straight in and they work well I also changed the selector switch, improved the wiring and put Tex mex pickups in it but for me the experience was worth it and the pots seem far better quality all round to those I replaced

As others have noted, the advertisement claims these are made in the USA but as we learn as soon as we unpack, they are made in Taiwan by CTS. Nothing wrong with that last part but it should be noted that they may well be to US Fender spec but are made elsewhere and they do come in a Fender packet which is nice to see. I bought two of these (I already had a spare) and they measured 253.8k and 269.9k which is pretty good as far as I am concerned. Mine came with 22nF capacitors if needed for tone control use. They measured 22.48nF and 21.66nF which is very accurate for small capacitors. Fitting is easy enough once you have removed the scratch plate and I think it best to replace everything in one go so you only have to dismantle once every few years. At the time of writing I am awaiting delivery of the new 5-way switch to replace a faulty one and complete the updates.

Done the job nice action great pots

This is obviously a good quality pot, but the threaded part was too thick to fit the hole in my Tokai Strat's scratchplate and copper plate. I enlarged the hole, but then discovered that the threaded part of the shaft was too short to get the nut and washer on! Some more detailed dimensions on the listing would have helped.

Funcionamiento suave y correcto.

Excelentes condiciones. Funcionaron perfectamente.

I redid the electronics on a 78 strat. On of the pots was dead and this was the perfect replacement, it looks vintage and feels vintage. It’s affordable and highly recommended

Ottimo prodotto. Attenzione, si deve ingrandire il buco rispetto al originale.

It works good. I swapped my cheap broken volume pot on my squier stratocaster with this fender pot and it feels much better and I think it has a better warmer tone. This pot is Logarithmic and my other was Linear
