Description
Emerson Custom formerly had their own spec’d line of “Emerson PRO CTS pots” but when 2020 rolled around and the supply chain blew up, it was finally time to take matters into their own hands. Emerson has designed and developed the new Premier Pro pots from the ground up.
Using a robust Fiberglass as the substrate, the solder lugs and resistive track are mounted to because its super strong, rigid, and won’t easily bend and snap like those in most every guitar. The taper used on these is a custom 20% Audio Taper that is a proprietary design from Emerson. This taper works equally as well in the volume position as it does in the tone position. The Solder lugs are a unique design… slightly oversized for plenty of room to run ground wires/buss wires and any other connection you need to the pot lugs.
Each Emerson Premier Pro pot includes a flat washer, lock washer, and hex mounting nut for custom height adjustment on a pickguard, control plate, or directly on to the guitars top from inside the control cavity.
Please note the right lug of the pot is intentionally clipped off, as it’s not needed for the intended purpose of a blender/no load circuit. This product will not work as a volume pot.

Ok – how do you review a pot? I won’t try as I haven’t finished installing it yet. But I will tell you that several months ago I started to upgrade a Bullet-Strat, and pots were on my list. So I researched and ordered what I THOUGHT would be right on Amazon. Big mistake – shafts were too long- and metric vs imperial? Arrrrgggghhh! MY MISTAKE!
So I contacted Solo and told them what I was doing – a Strat wiring with a “blender” pot. Within hours I had the list of the two pots and capacitor needed, and I ordered them. One was a “blender” pot – which I didn’t know existed. (It really just looks like a regular pot but with one connector missing.) Whatever – Solo fixed me up in no time with the right stuff and it arrived the next day.
These people are the best.
