CTS pots in my Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro?

[Darkyal]

So, a couple days ago I received my brand new Epiphone LP Custom Pro. While I was checking the electronics I came across with a CTS branded Tone Pot in the bridge. I'm just posting since it looked strange to me, since I thought Epiphone came with self branded pots/alpha pots. I wasn't able to find out about the other pots, since they're all push pull with a green PC board style connection (forgot the name).
I guess I'm just curious about that CTS branded pot; here's a picture.

My Bonamassa came with CTS pots, but the cheaper Epi's don't. I don't know about any of my other pricier Epiphones as they are all hollow bodies and I couldn't be bothered to look at the pots.

I swapped the pots and connectors in my Epiphone Florentine

I wanted push push pots

Honestly I can't hear the difference between
Big and little pots

In a band situation, no one can

If I recall correctly, the CTS 450S pots are more custom/vintage spec. The Artoftone (ebay seller) has a similar pot that has these specs and is apart of the 450S series. *I wouldn't be too alarmed. It's nice to see them use parts built with a better tolerance.

Solid brass c-clip reinforced shaft 

Solid brass bushing

3/8-32 US thread

3/4" (long shaft) bushing height

Split, fine 24-tooth, knurled, .236" diameter shaft

Chamfered shaft for easier knob installation and removal

Each pot comes with hardware - two nuts, dress washer and lock washer 

Requires 3/8" diameter mounting hole
