Seymour Duncan SD-500K Potentiometer Pot Made In USA
Seymour Duncan SD-500K Potentiometer – Precision Control for Humbucker Tone
Unlock the full potential of your guitar's voice with the Seymour Duncan SDP-500K, a premium-quality potentiometer engineered for musicians who demand flawless performance from their volume and tone controls. Custom-crafted by Bourns to exact Seymour Duncan specifications, this 500K audio-taper pot delivers the smooth, responsive feel and transparent control that your instrument deserves.
Engineered for Humbucker Pickups
The 500K value is the industry-standard choice for humbucker pickups, providing a pronounced high-end response that preserves clarity, articulation, and sparkle. While 250K pots tame brightness for single-coils, the 500K allows your humbuckers to breathe, delivering the full harmonic richness and dynamic range they were designed to produce. Whether you're upgrading a Les Paul, SG, ES-335, or any guitar with humbuckers, this pot ensures your tone remains vibrant and musical across the entire sweep of the control.
Smooth, Precise Audio Taper
The audio (logarithmic) taper delivers natural, even volume swells and tone adjustments that respond exactly as your ear expects. No dead spots, no sudden jumps—just buttery-smooth control from zero to ten. As one player noted, the pot offers a "smooth turning" feel that enhances both sensitivity and performance.
Built to Last
This high-quality potentiometer features a split-shaft design with a 3/8" bushing length and diameter, accommodating a wide variety of knobs for easy installation. The robust construction and precision manufacturing ensure years of reliable, noise-free operation. Comes complete with mounting hardware so you can install it straight away.
Versatile Application
Use it as a volume pot or tone control—the SDP-500K performs flawlessly in either role.
