Re: Push-pull pots
Oh and to answer your question just go to www.guitarfetish.com and buy their "alpha-quality" ones. I don't know if CTS even makes them cuz I've never been able to find them. If anyone knows where to get a CTS push/pull I'll buy 4 of them.

To the best of my knowledge, DiMarzio Push/Pulls are not made by CTS. As a matter of fact, they have an uncanny resemblance to the Alpha pots I stock.

I've never had any bad experiences, but all I've used is the CTS brand.

Re: Push-pull pots
Whatever StewMac stocks has worked great for me. I do not know who makes them.
The push/push that Warmoth sells are junk. Push/push is great in theory, as they were easier to switch that push/pull, but that ease of operation flies out the window when (not if) the plastic spring catch on the push/push breaks.

Re: Push-pull pots
This may belong on a different thread, but here goes (BTW, thanks for all the feedback on this thread). I also remember seeing on a post somewhere that not all of the Jimmy Page 4 push-pull pot schematics out on the 'net were accurate. Is the one on this site as well as the one on the Guitarelectronics site correct? I tend to go brain dead trying to trace this stuff, but I can build to a schematic/sketch that's accurate. Thanks again.

Re: Push-pull pots
It's as accurate as you need it to be to make it work. I wouldn't know if it's EXACTLY like what Page did, but it's what his guitar can do!!

Re: Push-pull pots
Thanks.....main concern is that the schematic accurately reflectes the desired outcome (single to humbucking on the volume pots and series-to-parallel/phase-reversal on the tone pots. Like I said, I can follow a schematic but if something's missing or wrong I could end up in the Twilight Zone.

Re: Push-pull pots
Took the round plate off the back of my Epi Paul today to see if I needed the long or short style toggle and was surprised to see an electronic switch instead of the Switchcraft-style mechanical one. Will undoubtabley replace it..........just hate the enclosed crap!
