CTS are what I always use when I mess with guitars... they seem to be pretty high quality.

CTS volume and tone controls. Bought a supply of fifty 250K split shafts, fifty 250K solid shafts and fifty 500K split shafts sometime ago and never needed to look elsewhere. CTS is all I've used for many years.
Been enjoying some awesome Triple Diesel for the last couple of weeks though.

Re: who's got the best pot
I like the whatever I have in this guitar... They're really low resistance (movement), not noisy... I think these are the Bourns. http://www.tubesandmore.com/products/R-VB-SP Next I was going to try the sealed Bourns, but it looks like they're not avail.

Re: who's got the best pot
Knurled split shaft is like what strats use. Also used on my Schecters. What it refers to is that the shaft has a flat-head screwdriver looking split in it, and it's knurled for certain knobs that don't need set screws to fasten them onto the pot. Solid shaft pots are usually found in effects pedals and amps. Longer shafted pots are for Gibson Les Pauls because the get mounted through the entire top piece of maple wood, as far as I know.
