Frequently asked questions
Can I use the B245 on a single-pickup guitar?
No, the B245 is specifically designed for two-pickup guitar configurations. It consolidates dual pickup signals, power delivery, and switching logic into one hub.
Does the Set Screw Knob fit my guitar's existing potentiometers?
Yes, if your potentiometer has a 6mm shaft (either split-shaft or solid-shaft). The hex set screw accommodates both types, making it a universal replacement for most guitars and basses.
What skill level do I need to install either of these?
The B245 requires intermediate to advanced skills for guitar wiring and pickup architecture. The Set Screw Knob is beginner-friendly—simply slide it on your potentiometer shaft and tighten the hex set screw with an Allen wrench.
Are these products related or part of the same system?
No. The B245 is a wiring interface for routing pickup signals during guitar construction or repair. The Set Screw Knob is a standalone hardware component for controlling volume and tone on any guitar or bass.
