JGale Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Specifically a medium length, metric B500K (linear taper), volume potentiometer for a Godin LGX-SA. Standard length too short, long shaft too long, metric diameter hole is smaller (do not want to drill). Linear is what's in there, not opposed to an audio taper if the sizes are correct. Thank you, thank you, tahnks yous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGale Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 Godin says to use CTS from Stewmac. They don't stock them. Answer is wrong, didn't take into account age of guitar --> metric pot. TBH all we gave them was the serial number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Can you just use a second nut as a spacer from the bottom side to seat the long shaft at the proper height (assuming you have the long shaft already)? I'd widen the hole to take a CTS if it was mine, the increased diameter is minimal and will be covered completely by the washer that comes with the pot. DO NOT use a drill - high risk of splintering the wood on either or both sides. Use a peg reamer. If you don't have access to one and are tempted in a reamer's absence to "improvise" the hole widening, PM me. Edited to add, for anyone interested. Allparts item LT-0815-000 Tapered Reamer Tool for Tuning Peg Holes. $13. Good tool at an affordable price if you are a DIY'er as far as electronics cavity, tuning keys and endpin jack upgrades.
