Gibson Long or Short Shaft Pots

This is the #1 ask question I receive.  Does my Gibson or other brand guitar need Long or Short shaft pots. Here is the latest list that I have.  I still recommend to pull out a pot and measure the bushing to make sure.  Measure only the threaded part of the shaft.  Long = 3/4 inch / Short = 3/8 inch.  REMEMBER measure only the threaded part of the shaft and not the entire length including tip.
