Good potentiometers
LargePotato4455 12.09.2021
Good tone potentiometers, wanted to replace them because my guitar had mini-pots that worked not so good, even if I roll them to 0, the sound didn't change so much, probably they were broken

The main problem was that the holes in the guitar body where potentiometers are inserted were too small, I had to expand them a little with a file.
After this I soldered them, installed, and I noticed that they changed the sound, it became brighter, I can't say for sure, that's a merit of these pots, or that's because previous worked very badly

Now I can slightly roll them and will notice that the sound changed a bit, which means that you can change the tone as you want, this didn't happen with previous pots.

Don't have any complaints, I'm satisfied and can recommend them.

P.S. If someone wonders, for the volume I bought the ''Göldo Pot 500K Lin'', so I'm happy with them both

This is good pot...
Small Shed Luthier 17.01.2022
After using all kinds of pots from different brands, these are spot on.
They turn exactly the way I like, not too stiff and not too light.
Solidly constructed and they don't make crackling sounds when turning them.
I use them as good replacements and for scratch builds.

Meine Lieblingspotis
Fretshaper 16.06.2024
Hier ist eine Rezension für die Göldo Potis auf Deutsch:
Ich habe die Göldo Potis jetzt schon eine Weile im Einsatz und muss sagen, dass sie insgesamt großartig sind. Das Drehgefühl ist optimal und bietet genau den richtigen Widerstand für präzise Einstellungen. Die Verarbeitungsqualität und die reibungslose Bedienung machen sie zu einer hervorragenden Wahl für jeden Gitarristen, der seine Potentiometer aufrüsten möchte.

Allerdings ist mir aufgefallen, dass es ein kleines Problem mit der Qualitätskontrolle gibt. Von zwanzig Göldo Potis, die ich verwendet habe, einer defekt war. Obwohl dies kein großer Nachteil ist, sollte man sich dessen bei größeren Bestellungen bewusst sein.

Trotzdem kann ich die Göldo Potis aufgrund ihrer hervorragenden Leistung und Zuverlässigkeit in den meisten Fällen sehr empfehlen. Man sollte nur darauf achten, dass gelegentlich ein fehlerhaftes Exemplar dabei sein kann.

Can't beat it
Edgar Blackdagger 12.02.2018
I've been using this pot series for years and since the first set I bought, these are the only ones I've been buying and using.

They feel better than Fender pots, they are a lot cheaper and they are Japanese made, well, you can;t beat that.

Made in Japan - that's enough to say!
Arpie 04.12.2014
I like everything which has a stamp "Made in Japan". So that's why I was brave with this product, I purchased it without any hesitation. Although there were a few negative review about it. Honestly I have no idea why someone gave a negative feedback for this product. It was easy to solder, very massive and robust. I didn't have to afraid that I will break a solder lug or anything. Rotates super smoothly, not too loose not too tight just exactly what I like.
I purchased it for my Charvette 200, which has an HSS pickup configuration. (I don't use any tone control knob just a single volume is enough for me)
After installation I gave a quick test, worked perfectly fine, there was no noise or scratching sound. It is a really good value for money item, you won't be able to find better product for this money!

Goldo EL500 Pot - nice spare electronic parts
Anonymous 21.01.2017
I use Goldo pots either to replace low quality pots onsome of my guitars, or to use on guitars built from scratch by my luthier.
Appreciations apply to both 500 and 250 k
PROS:
Good quality for the money
Fairly well built
Last fairly well in use
Good result when used correctly in conjunction with pick-ups (ie they do not induce noise or unwanted changes in sound)

CONS
None

I would recommend Goldo as a fair choice of good electronics on guitars. One of the best choices in their range of price

Still working well.
Bopmarty 02.07.2020
I used these potentiometers when I rewired my 1982 Ibanez ES50. That was a while back and they're still working 'like new'. A good product.

Great quality product for a low cost
ssk0g1 09.08.2023
Smooth operation, great sweep for volume control.
I have mounted this on a Japanese Jackson DK2M, and it does the job perfectly, and fitted the smaller diameter hole which you find on Asian produced guitars (as opposed to American)

Just great !
Bo E. 26.01.2017
I used many brand of pots in the past and while the taper is maybe not THE best with this pot it is stile very good. Where this one just excels though is the fact that solders extremely easy. If you have had to solder things to the back of pots you may know that this not always such an easy tast. Many pots have a coating on them and you'll have to scratch it off with a knife or have to heat the surface way too long... But not with these guys! Because they have a Tin plated housing, it is very easy and quick sol solder wire to it. I will be buying these ones again !
