Forgot to add that I've installed one and it works excellent... the detent is slightly subtle but obvious enough.

I have used them and they are nice. They twist very easy and a pet peeve I have is for all the knobs to feel somewhat similar on said guitar. Typically the Bourns are easier to twist so that may be a different feel than you are used to and may bother you if your other pots aren't easy to twist.

For the record, these are not the speed pots. I have some of those (Bourns) too.

These turn regularly.
