## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work on a Stratocaster?**

**Q: How tall is the shaft?**
A: About 3/8"

**Q: What size mounting hole is required?**
A: size3/8 inch standard imperial size. If your putting them in an import guitar you may need to widen the hole.

**Q: Made in USA?**
A: I believe these are all made in Asia. The only pots I know of made in North America are Bourns, made in Canada
