Lightbulb quality stereo pots for guitars?

Hi all

I did design a wicked guitar circuit and now I'm looking for some quality STEREO pots, 500k A and 500k B.

Anyone knows a good source?

Many tia!

Attached is a copy of a 500 K audio taper stereo pan pot which is sold by Stewart-McDonald's guitar shop supply (www.stewmac.com).

I don't know of a source for linear 500 K pan pots, but if I run into something I'll post again.

Hi DMW

Thanks for your time and search!

BUT (no offense!)

I do need regular double ganged pots, like mono but dual ganged.
Maybe mouser.com, I also did contact a guitarbuilding buddy (also often looking for "special" parts);
maybe we gonna try some dual ganged alpha pots, excellent quality but different shaft-size and not as smooth to adjust a regular guitar-pots.

We'll see, more options and suggestions are welcome!

Main Electronics in Vancouver, BC used to custom make those sort of pots for like $25 or so. Maybe it was more.

Triple pots over here, also one in your mouth

It's for a Keith Richards style Tele (HB at neck, Tele bridge PU) so I think it's more about Jack Daniels and some white & brown
