Review: Works as advertised. Good product
Review: "Bourns 500K SHORT Split Shaft Audio Taper Low Friction" potentiometers lived up to their name and my expectations. Yes, they're smooth to turn, have decent tolerances for my purposes (two 470 kOhm, two 460 kOhm; as measured on a digital multimeter), and they fit well in my Squier Bullet Mustang as volume and tone pots. Audio taper is smooth and just as it should be. My one complaint is regarding the wide tolerance. TheGlobalGenie seller is good. I was surprised as the package arrived well before the estimated delivery date.

Product is as described. Bourns pots are a little freer moving than CTS. So if you are looking for easy gliding pots then great. If you like the heavier friction of CTS these may not be for you.
