If you are uncertain whether your guitar uses short (3/8") or long (3/4") shaft pots, as a general rule this pot will fit most USA-made Gibson Les Paul's manufactured before 1977, Gibson historic reissues, PRS and Hamer guitars, but please double check before you order. 2. Make sure to pinch the tip of the shaft before you try fitting a knob, this will avoid getting knobs stuck before you install the pot. If you've ever had that happen... 3. If you have an import guitar it is probably using metric sized components and these pots cannot be used without modifying the openings on your guitar.
