Add a switch to your guitar using the existing holes in your pick guard or body. High quality CTS Push/Pull DPDT switches can be used to add phase switching, coil tapping, series/parallel, etc. to your guitar without having to drill the holes for a mini switch. The shorter body height and side mounted contacts require far less space (1” depth ) making them ideal for thinner bodied guitars with a more shallow body cavity. These Split-shaft pots are compatible with 24- spline, fine knurled knobs and feature a precise audio taper. Hex nuts, flat washer, and lock washer are included with each pot. CTS DPDT pots are available in three types for different applications. Common uses are as follows:
- 500 kΩ potentiometers (R-VC500KA-DPDT) are commonly used when wiring humbuckers.
- 250 kΩ potentiometers (R-VC250KA-DPDT) are commonly used when wiring single-coil pickups
- 500 kΩ long-shaft potentiometers (R-VC500KA-DPDT-LS) are commonly used when wiring carved top solid body guitars

Do these pots have a tension that is similar to other CTS pots commonly uxed in amplifiers, or do they spin more freely like the alpha push/pull pots? I would like a push pull pot that has a consistent feel to the rest of the pots across my amplifier front panel.

Yes, these have the same tension that you would come to expect from CTS. There is definitely some resistance when you turn the pot.

This is a 450 series pot but CTS does not have a spec sheet for it on their website. What specs we do have are listed above in the description.

If you have a Les Paul style guitar the length on these will be too short and you will want to go with the .75" option.

Quality product. I had no issue soldering into the terminal holes. It worked really well splitting my humbucker coils. Smooth action up and down and the taper is spot on. Mine measured in at 498K so it was in spec. Another quality product from CTS, I highly recommend!
I was not impressed. It appeared to be a good idea, but upon using it not so much. It is very difficult to get two wires into the contacts on the switch, which is what I needed to do. And the thing is very bulky. The contacts on the pot itself are impossible to reach if it is installed before wiring. And if you choose to use this make sure to use plastic knobs. I had a bad ground problem that was because of the knob I had. I was using the switch as a phase switch for pickups and even when I only had one pickup engaged it still had a slight out of phase sound to it. Maybe some of the contacts had been bridged, but since you can’t see the back side of the board who knows. The Bourns and Alpha products I’ve used before were not only much easier to wire but also sounded better. I cannot recommend this at all. But I do recommend purchasing from Antique Electronic Supply or the other names associated with them. Great service.
