Not recommended
I tried to install 2 of these on my Jackson, one didn't work and I broke the second one (my mistake). Replaced them later with push/pull CTS pots, the difference in quality is staggering. I'm no longer buying Göldo pots. I'll only recommend these if you are on a really tight budget, but even then I'll look for alternatives.

I wish these would have a more slower turning ease. It is enough to touch the knob and they rotate immediately, and I find this a bit annoying, because I always have to check if the tone is not turned and sucking the... tone out of my pickup. Also, they are not so dirt proof, and within one year or so, you may expect cracks and pops when using the pot side. The switch also "clicks" when pulling it (not when pushing it back); I suppose it has to do with the speed of which I am handling it.
The PRO side, is that it is really indispensable if you want to split coils or want to add some other switching to your guitar.

Thes pish/pull pots in my custom SC-500 II
I asked them if they could swap out the regular tone pots for these in Sally, my SC-500 II FTF. I use them for splitting the humbucker coils in her.
I see that feature in other HB models such as the CST-24 and I really wanted the same split coil capability in this single cut LP-style axe. It's a one of a kind Custom until someone reads this review.
Thomann's Custom Shop had it done in short order and in my hands 3-4 days later as per their routine business. I did have to buy them of course, but it's the best $12 USD I've spent on guitar accessories in years.
Now I can rock any combination of split coil humbucker in the neck and/or bridge pickup. They're worth every cent

Great push pull pot
I purchased this to upgrade my 20 year old HSH jackson and I wanted to be able to turn the guitar into SSS with a pull of a Switch. After extensive research I opted for this one as sold by thomann. During its installation, I would have preferred a better earth lug to be able to solder many wires to. I would say that after installation the pot is very smooth in operation. The volume control on my jackson can sometimes get in the way of playing and I did have a concern that this would be even worse with this new pot in the pulled out position; the reality is that this is no more noticeable than before.

Fine
Works fine, no noise. Very soft on turning, but it is a disadvantage for me

Nice!
I use this pot in a prs style guitar with a pair of calibrated Bareknucle Nailbomb Humbuckers. I use the pull option on the switch to coil tap, or split the humbuckers for a single coil sound. Its a really durable solid switch. No noise. Very subtle torque but stable, really nice for volume swells.

It works
I wanted to build in a push-pull-poti in my Warwick Rockbass to habe an active-passive-switch. The poti has the same resistor than the volume poti. It works now for 5 years!

Excellent... with some minor issues :)
I bought some of these switches but a couple of them were defective (when pulled, it got broken) and Thomann customer care fastly sent me some new ones. After installing, everything was good: the pot works greatly, and the push/pull is smooth.

good push/pull poti
I've had this in a guitar for several years now, works great, both as pot and switch, reliable in long term use.
I use it in conjunction with a resistor for a partial coil split on a humbucker pickup.
I would not hesitate to purchase it again. Quality product.

Great at first but not consistent
I bought two of these for a project guitar. At first they worked perfectly fine, good response and felt like a good quality product. I had the guitar wired by a professional so there was no issue with my amateur wiring.
Some time down the line now though they have started to develop some popping and clicking. One needs to be periodically adjusted or no signal goes through it at all.
Since it's only one that's acting up I can't completely bash this product but from some of the other reviews this doesn't seem that rare so there's some consistency lacking in the standards.
