Instructions
250K vs. 500K
Generally, 500K-ohm pots are used with humbuckers and 250Ks are used with single-coil pickups. You can use any value you like, but a 250K will give a slightly warmer tone than a 500K pot. The 250K pot bleeds off (attenuates) some of the high frequencies to ground.

Shaft diameter 6mm split shaft, coarse knurling
Thread M7 x 0.75
Threaded portion 3/8" (9.52mm)
Required mounting hole diameter    9/32" (7.14mm)
Flat washer and two mounting nuts included

January 2, 2009
I just installed the blend pot I purchased from Stewart-MacDonald in my new PRS SE Custom S/H. I'm used to playing a Strat knock-off, so I missed the tonal variety with a dual humbucker config. The blend pot provides a neat variation of tones, sweeping from neck to bridge, and everything in between. I'm very happy with the result, and surprised I don't see more of this configuration in commercial guitars.
