Mine are still soldered but the shaft broke off** A: Yes, these are OK for that guitar. You use 500K pots for humbuckers and 250K pots for single coils. They aren't hard to replace with a 35 to 45 watt soldering iron. Just unsolder the wires one at a time and resolder onto the new pot. **Q: Will this work as a tone pot replacement for an ibanez gio 7 string?** A: It will "work" but it may be a different value than the existing one. If the existing volume pot is a 100k or a 250k, this will work the same, but it will have a different rate of change of volume as you turn it up or down. **Q: Are this audio taper pots?** A: Yes. These are potentiometer Pots, 500 k. Most often we have 250k or 500k, the difference being how much treble will be bled off. For a Humbucker: 500k for a single rail: 250k. this will work in situations where you would like to adjust volume, but with a capacitor they can also be used as a tone control. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by D***L on May 2, 2025* These have served me well in my guitar pedal builds. They also work well in guitars if you need to use a mini pot. I’ve bought different values and tapers for these and they all work great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pots! Nice firm rotation. Great taper. *by B***D on March 22, 2019* I bought these pots for a cheapo partscaster build, and didnt want to spend a ton of money on hardware. So I went cheap on everything that I didnt already have on hand. These pots are great! They are nice and tight! But in a good way. Which I love. I hate when pots spin too freely and dont stay where you set them. These have a nice smooth rotation, and good taper. Very surprised to have pots that feel and sound this good at this very low price point. I cant say if they are all consistently good like this, but the ones I got are super! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did what I needed *by D***E on June 1, 2021* They worked and did exactly what I needed them to do.I have a project guitar that the tone and volume pots were making horrible noises at certain settings. These cured those issues. And they're cheap but likely better quality than ones in guitars up to $200. Especially broken ones🀣 ## Frequently Bought Together - Guitar Potentiometer Audio Pots B500K Ohm Replacement 16.5mm Base Dia 18mm Shaft Pack of 10 - Guitar Potentiometers Split Shaft Pots Audio Tone Switch Control Pack of 10 (B250K) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/24096470-guitar-potentiometer-audio-pots-b500k-ohm-replacement-16-5mm-base](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/24096470-guitar-potentiometer-audio-pots-b500k-ohm-replacement-16-5mm-base) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
