Why use the same PRS part as a replacement

Because 475K is a specific value rather than a standard 250K or 500K pot, replacing it with the same PRS part keeps the original response of the circuit. Check that this part matches your guitar’s model and year before ordering.

Tips before you replace a control

• Take a clear photo of the existing wiring before you unsolder anything.
• Compare the value and shaft length of your current pot with this part.
• If you are not comfortable soldering, have the work done by a qualified guitar technician. House of Guitars offers guitar repairs six days a week.
