I needed to replace a 1964 pot on a Thunderbird and looked close at the ones in all my basses. I was rather surprised that they widely vary in appearance. Even the color and type of wire used to connect them seem to vary from bass to bass.
They all seem to be 1964 CTS 500k pots but the codes vary in appearance, even in the same bass sometimes?? I've often heard Gibson "used whatever they had" back then.
I have a line on some 1964 CTS 500k pots but the codes are on the side of the pots, rather than the back.
None of my basses actually have that combination.
Any reason these would NOT be correct for a 64 TBird, as long as the shafts are long enough?
Anyone have photos of KNOWN ORIGINAL 1964-65 Thunderbird control cavity wiring that they can post to compare?
