Review: Excellent Pot - Great pots, made in China tho - I thought CTS were made in Taiwan? Despite that these feel very positive and measured with a multimeter I'm getting 260 and 240k, respectively, thats to within 1% of the +/- 5% allowed. Gone are the day when we perceived M.I.C. as cheap rubbish, Chinese manufacturers are world class now, only gripe is price at nearly £12 a pop - but still worth the money if you want to trick out your guitar with quality. ## Features - CTS pots have long been the first choice in American guitars.
