Decent quality 500k-linear push/pull pot?

[~Maxx]

Hey everyone. I took the plunge this week and ordered a linear taper pot for the tone knob on one of my Strats. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten ahold of a faulty part, as it does not behave like it should on my meter ("switch" effect - no change until the very end of the turn). I've had issues with parts from this particular company on several occasions in the past (you get what you pay for :, and returning/exchanging is not really an option by the time you pay shipping and the "restock" fee ( ).

Anyway... Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I can order a quality 500k split-shaft linear taper push/pull pot?

Much appreciated!

I always had good luck with LMII

Another one would be Best Guitar Parts.

I've always had good luck with these two and they've always resolved any issues I've had quickly and professionally.

Thanks C1. I've bookmarked both of those sites. Unfortunately neither of them have what I'm looking for. I did manage to find one site (from whom I've never ordered) that has them in a solid shaft. Looks like that's my only option... Oh well. We'll see what happens!
