These are great quality and just as good as CTS pots for much less in price! I actually bought these to replace a new CTS pot I just installed about a month ago and already was super scratchy and cutting in and out. Only con is the lugs aren’t as long to be able to solder one to the back to ground it but not a huge deal at all. Just solder a small piece of wire from the lug to side of the body. They also take solder really well. They’re stiff but not too stiff and a little electronic cleaner does the trick. Highly recommend these and will be using for now on.

These pots operate smoothly and have a sturdy construction. The resitance measure to spec. MusicLily makes some nice stuff and I have not been disappointed with anything from them. This company seems deducated to supplying the guitar community with quality parts at a fair and reasonable price.

My friend bass was cutting out when he played it and brought it over to me to fix. He had dime sized cheap ppts in his and they were quit gritty when you turned them. I pit these in and they are super smooth and work great. I got the B ones, they are the audio taper ones. I will diffently buy this brand for all my needs. They are just as good as CT pots.

I put them in an old ibanez, and I didn't want to bore out the existing holes. They're a perfect fit and work exactly as expected.

Not quite as nice as the top shelf CTS pots, but near half the price.

Despite being Alpha, these are full sized, well made and a good substitute for CTS pots. I know many people think that Alpha pots are inferior, but there arefull size pots that work great, feel good and cost third of the price.Don't be a brand snob give these a try.

The Pots work just fine. The only issue is that they are stiff when turning, not smooth at all. I sprayed Detox inside the pot and down the shaft. Turned several times. This helped loosen things up and now turn smoothly. W2 40 should also do the trick.
