CTS

CTS is an American electronic-components manufacturer whose music-gear products include potentiometers for guitar and bass volume and tone controls. In instrument parts and spares, it is known for replacement pots supplied in different resistance values, tapers and shaft configurations.

The CTS range listed on MyGear comprises 19 products currently in stock at partner retailers, priced from €5 to €15. These are individual components for repairs, maintenance and instrument builds rather than complete instruments or effects. Available options include 250K and 500K potentiometers, logarithmic and linear tapers, solid and split shafts, and long-shaft and miniature versions.

These variations address different control layouts and fitting requirements. Resistance and taper affect a control’s electrical behaviour, while shaft length and construction determine compatibility with instrument mounting arrangements and control knobs. Listed examples include CTS 450G Series Pro Guitar Pots and long-shaft 500K models.
