Went right in to my Ibanez SR1805e for the volume pot. The original went bad but might have been partly to me banging it on the desk! Hah! Much better quality pot, I like the taper, easy to install, had to ream the hole just a hair but that was it! I will be buying some more Bourns pots in the not too distant future.

I got these for a Guild arch top. I wanted the volume and tone on the pickguird but regular pots were too big so the p/g wouldn't sit low enough next to the pickups. I installed them yesterday and they seem to work great. Everything fits. Good audio taper and no noise. Mounting hole is the same size as a regular pot so there's non of that weirdness.
