What does this potentiometer do?

Potentiometers control volume or tone. A worn pot can cause scratchy noise or uneven response when you turn the knob. If your controls crackle or behave inconsistently, replacing the pot is a common fix.

Is it the right part for your guitar?

PRS lists this as a dedicated lefty part. Check that it matches your guitar’s model and year before ordering. Also make sure you need the version without a capacitor: the version with a 180 pF capacitor is a different product.

Fitting the part

Replacing a potentiometer means working on your guitar’s electronics. If you are not comfortable soldering, our workshop in Hilversum offers guitar repairs six days a week.
