Restore a More Musical Volume and Tone to Your Telecaster
This Fender kit is designed for guitarists who want a usable volume control throughout the entire knob sweep and a smoother, more consistent tone control without abrupt changes. Replacing worn components or to improve the reliability of original electronics, these CTS 250k solid shaft potentiometers provide stable rotation and a more coherent response, especially appreciated for managing clean, crunch, and pick dynamics.
Two Capacitors to Tailor Your Tone Character
Depending on your style and pickups, the choice of capacitor affects how the treble frequencies roll off when you lower the tone control. The 0.022uF capacitor targets a more "modern" curve, generally smoother and more versatile, while the 0.100uF capacitor approaches a more "vintage" behavior, with a more pronounced cut for warm, mellow sounds. Ideal for adapting your Telecaster to your playing style, from bright twang to darker, bluesy tones.

Questions frequently asked
Is this kit compatible with a Fender Telecaster?
This kit is designed for upgrading or restoring the volume and tone controls of a Fender Telecaster. It includes two CTS 250 kΩ potentiometers suited for this configuration.
What is the difference between the 0.022uF and 0.100uF capacitors?
The 0.022uF capacitor offers a more gradual high-frequency roll-off with a modern approach. The 0.100uF value provides a more pronounced cut to achieve rounder, warmer tone settings.
Are the potentiometers in the Fender Telecaster Solid Shaft Potentiometer and Capacitor Kit logarithmic?
Both CTS 250 kΩ potentiometers use an audio taper curve, intended for a smoother response throughout the volume and tone control ranges.
What shaft type and mounting format are provided?
The potentiometers feature a solid shaft. The mounting format is 3/8 inch.
Is the mounting hardware included?
The kit includes mounting hardware. Two metallized polyester film capacitors are also provided, with values of 0.022uF and 0.100uF.
