Using this Allparts audio pot is a breeze. First, make sure your guitar is turned off. Then, carefully install the pot on the pickguard where it fits well with the USA - sized knobs. Connect the necessary wires following your guitar's wiring diagram. When using it, just turn the knobs to adjust the audio as you like. For maintenance, keep it away from moisture and dust. If it gets dirty, you can use a dry cloth to gently wipe it. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the pot. When handling, be careful not to apply too much force on the shaft to avoid bending it.
