Works like a standard 250K potentiometer from settings 1 through 9, but at 10 (full clockwise) takes the pot out of the circuit entirely. This eliminates the path to ground that exists with standard pots in the full setting. The result is increased power and brightness at the "Full On" setting.  Unlike the Fender "No-Load'" potentiometer this style does not click in at 10 when by-passing the circuitry, it simply slides in, it's a nice smooth transition.

The slightly longer threaded bushing on this potentiometer is perfect for pickguards 0.090" and thicker.  The standard Fender 1/4" long threaded bushing potentiometers are just not long enough to accommodate the locking star washer and flat dress washer on pickguards 0.090" and thicker and still have the fastening nut grab at least 2 threads.
