250K ohm. for most Stratocasters and Telecasters. Original guitar hardware. CTS manufactured, includes capacitor. Comes in Fender^® packaging. Some Fender guitars have a unique tone circuit that features a "Delta Tone' Control. The "Delta Tone' system consists of a high output bridge pickup and special 'no-load' tone control for the middle and bridge pickups. This new pot has a detent at the 10 position which bypasses completely any filtration through capacitors. Unlike the TBX, which [has] a detent at the 5 position and gradually reduce[s] the amount of filtration through the capacitor, the Delta-Tone's 'no-load' feature eliminates filtration completely at the detent and the result is more of the direct presence of the pickup.

I like the "no load" effect for the pickups tone controls on my Stratocaster. There is a difference in the sound of the pickups when the "no load" pot removes the potentiometer resistance from the circuit. I wish they made these without the indent lock on the potentiometer. It is easy to fix this however but you have to take the potentiometer apart and use a flat head punch and a hammer to whack the indent out of the bottom of the potentiometer base. This is not for everyone but it can be done. I did this before I installed them and it is better. It twists just like a normal pot now.

With a no-load tone pot when the pot is turned up to 10 it clicks in to place and the pot and cap are removed from the circuit thereby running the pickup hot/full blast. With a standard potentiometer, even at 10 the pot and cap are in the circuit which adds some amount of tonal change to the raw pickup sound.

Can this pot also be used as a volume pot for a Strat/tele? and will it work as a volume & tone for a P-Bass as well?1 answers

This can be used in place of a volume or tone potentiometer on both a guitar and bass, however, the tonal effect (when bypassed) when used as a volume control may not be ideal.
