Emerson Custom formerly had their own spec’d line of “Emerson PRO CTS pots” but when 2020 rolled around and the supply chain blew up, it was finally time to take matters into their own hands. Faced with lead-times that were 20x longer than that of during a normal time, Mitch was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He didn’t have access to his own supply of his spec of CTS pots because all the major brands were vying for anything and everything they could get from the factories. Mitch was tired of simply accepting the industry norm that CTS pots are “good enough”, or the “best” available. So, he set out to create his very own design and brand of in-house pots that not only look familiar but are built to an incredibly consistent feel and function from lot to lot. It took a ton of money, time and effort, but Emerson Custom feels that these new Emerson PREMIER PRO pots are the best pots available… PERIOD. Emerson Custom wasn't constrained by an off the shelf spec sheet of options to choose from. They designed and developed these pots from the ground up. The feel and consistency from pot to pot is incredible. They put extra care into the little details to make sure these translate to the end user. They built these to be rugged and reliable. They chose to use robust Fiberglass as the substrate the solder lugs and resistive track are mounted to because its super strong, rigid, and won’t easily bend and snap like those in most every guitar. The taper they used on these is a custom 20% Audio Taper that is a proprietary design from Emerson. This taper works equally as well in the volume position as it does in the tone position. Their Solder lugs are a unique design… slightly oversized for plenty of room to run ground wires/buss wires and any other connection you need to the pot lugs. 250K Specs: TAPER: Audio Taper (20% Proprietary Emerson Design) (20% Output @ ½ Rotation) OHM VALUE: 250K Ω TOLERANCE: +/- 8% Tolerance (230K -270K Ω) SHAFT LENGTH: 0.375” (⅜”) For use on pickguards, control plates and thin wood tops) SHAFT STYLE: Split (Fine Knurling - 24 Spline - For US Spec CTS Style Push On Knobs) INCLUDED HARDWARE FOR EACH POT: 1 flat washer, 1 lock washer, 1 mounting nut 500K Specs: TAPER: Audio Taper (20% Proprietary Emerson Design) (20% Output @ ½ Rotation) OHM VALUE: 500K Ω TOLERANCE: +/- 8% Tolerance (460K -540K Ω) SHAFT LENGTH: 0.375” (⅜”) For use on pickguards, control plates and thin wood tops) SHAFT STYLE: Split (Fine Knurling - 24 Spline - For US Spec CTS Style Push On Knobs) INCLUDED HARDWARE FOR EACH POT: 1 flat washer, 1 lock washer, 1 mounting nut 1M Specs: TAPER: Audio Taper (20% Proprietary Emerson Design) (20% Output @ ½ Rotation) OHM VALUE: 1M Ω TOLERANCE: +/- 8% Tolerance (920K -1080K Ω) SHAFT LENGTH: 0.375” (⅜”) For use on pickguards, control plates and thin wood tops) SHAFT STYLE: Split (Fine Knurling - 24 Spline - For US Spec CTS Style Push On Knobs) INCLUDED HARDWARE FOR EACH POT: 1 flat washer, 1 lock washer, 1 mounting nut
