Straight from Gibson Guitar's Historic Re-issue guitars come Gibson's new Historic Spec series-parts that have been specially designed to replicate the original parts used by Gibson in the late 1950s.

This Historic Potentiometer has been designed to be more vintage-accurate than any other potentiometer on the market today. With a dynamic sweep from 1 to 10, you'll notice the difference. For anyone who's ever said, "They don't make 'em like they used to," here's some proof to the contrary.

    Sorry ! Did not work for me. No sweep, From 1-6 Nothing, 7-10 sound volume tone, Yea the whole thing. The original volume pot in my 63 reissue SG Standard works like a real volume pot. I get volume, tone all from 1-10. This is the second time I have replaced the pot for the bridge pickup and not getting the results as the original. Had to do this review so real players don't fall into that historic hype like I did. No audio taper here. Watch out.

  • Best pot out there

    There are six different logarithmic taper codes CTS builds their potentiometers on, can you tell me what taper is the Gibson historic pot is designed on. The 5% at half rotation or 10% at half rotation? The taper makes a difference if used for vol or tone control !

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. Perhaps an inquiry to Gibson.
