Allparts EP-4970-000 Nuts & Washers for USA Potentiometers and Output Jacks
The Allparts EP-4970-000 is a replacement nut and washer set for USA-spec potentiometers and output jacks โ the hardware used to secure pots and jacks to the guitar body or control plate during builds and repairs. A small but essential component: without the correct nut and washer, pots and jacks cannot be properly secured, leading to loose controls, rotating jacks, and potential wiring damage over time.
USA-Spec Threading โ Correct Fit for CTS Pots and Switchcraft Jacks
USA-spec potentiometers (CTS and similar) and output jacks (Switchcraft and similar) use a specific thread size and pitch that differs from metric (import) hardware. The EP-4970-000 is threaded to the correct USA specification, ensuring a proper fit on CTS pots and Switchcraft-style jacks without cross-threading or loose fitment. Not suitable for metric-threaded import pots or jacks.
Essential for Guitar Builds & Repairs
Replacement nuts and washers are frequently needed during guitar builds, control cavity rewires, and repairs where original hardware has been lost, stripped, or corroded. Having a spare set on hand is practical for any guitar technician or builder working regularly with USA-spec electronics. The washer protects the guitar body or pickguard surface from the nut, and helps distribute clamping force evenly to prevent cracking or denting around the mounting hole.
