CTS 500K Long Shaft Push-Pull Pots, MIM Strat pickups

[SoundAt11]

White-covered Fender MIM Strat single coils (bridge, middle, and neck). Sound great and work, only problem is that the previous owner (a friend of mine) cut all the lead wire off (wish he'd asked me before doing that) when installing a set of replacement Duncans. You can still trim back the remaining wire and solder on some replacement wire or else just use them as dummy pickups like EVH did.
Make an offer on these, shipping would be $5 in the US.

CTS 500K SPST Long Shaft Pots purchased from Martin 6-string Customs last year, Brand new.
I've got 6 of them that are all new and unused that I don't need anymore (I really need 500K Short-Shaft Push-Pull Pots).
Just make an offer ($ or trade) on those to (shipping will be cheap).

These are the pots for Les Paul depth guitars.

Bump: Here's the specs:
EP4486 500K Push/pull audio taper CTS long shaft pot. 3/4" threaded bushing, split shaft. Normally used for Gibson-needs extra washer to use for Strat. Single pole, single throw.

So they'll work for splitting humbuckers.
Figure $18 if you just need 2, 3 for $24, or 4 for $30. (I don't want to have to ship just 1)

Weird these are CTS push/pull pots? I thought they didn't make them in push pull as I thought when I ordered CTS pots from John the Push/pulls he was selling were the cheapo asian pots as CTS hasn't made them in years if I recall correctly.

Yep, CTS, that's the part number from the back.
I've had them sitting in my parts drawer for several years.

You said you bought them from Matt at Martin 6 string Guitars last year and then it was sitting in your parts drawer for several years. Which is it? haha. In any event I was under the impression CTS hasn't made push/pull pots since the early 90's.

:sigh:
Are you calling me a liar?
They're brand new, with the part # codes and CTS stamped on them. You push them in and pull them out, they're push pull. Bought from Martin6String within the past few years. I don't keep up with exact dates I purchased little things like pots.

No I wasn't implying that at all. I just noticed a contradictory statement in your post. I also know they haven't made these pots in years or so I was led to believe all this time. I was hoping maybe you knew something I didn't like that CTS was now manufacturing these push / pull pots again due to customer demand or something.

In any case if you have 2 left and thre shipping isn't a big deal I will take what's left.

Fusion, that's cool, no problemo.
uOpt just sent me PayPal for all 4 remaining ones, though, so that's all of them. I believe AllParts still lists them, as well as the site I linked above. Just searching for that part # should bring them up online. They're solid feeling, not flimsy at all, the switch is sturdy and the taper feels the same as other CTS pots I have.
