Different in Pot sizes

All Parts Potentiometer


Do note that the Pots shown in the picture above, an All parts potentiometer is of the American size. If you are buying it to replace the Pots in your Ibanez, ESP or other Asian made guitars, it probably won't be a direct fit. You will probably need to drill a larger hole (or whatever creative methods you have to make holes larger) to make it fit.

Gotoh Potentiometer


For Asian made guitars, the one above which is a Gotoh potentiometer is a glove fit. Please do take note that there are different in sizes for potentiometers, usually in either the American or Asian size. Make sure that you make the right purchase when buying replacement parts for your guitar.

Disclaimer: All Parts isn't the only brand that has American sized pots. There are probably other brands out there which I haven't heard of.
