Yes, it is a solderless potentiometer that comes in both 500k and 250k.

It's not exactly solderless.

It's a potentiometer. It doesn't matter which it replaces. It can be either the volume or the tone control. But, you need to understand, it's not exactly "solderless". The first time you install it, you have to do all the normal soldering that you would do with any pickup change. It's subsequent pickup changes that don't need to get soldered. In other words, it's for folks who want to experiment with different pickups. If you know what pup combination you want, on the first go 'round, the Liberator won't help.

Make sense?
