Best 500k Linear Push-Pull Pots

[HeritageBurst]

Hey all,

 

I am new here as of about 5 minutes ago. I've been a Heritage owner since 2006, though I only have one Heritage guitar at the moment. The guitar I currently have is a 2009 H-150CM in vintage burst. It came stock with Seymour Duncan '59s. They sound great, though I want more versatility from the bridge pickup. So, leaving the neck '59 alone (sounds great), I'm going to put a Duncan SH-14 Custom 5 in the bridge, with intentions of splitting it. I've used this pickup in Gibson LPs with a coil splitting mod in the past, and though it's not an exact Tele tone, it sure delivers when you need a Tele type tone.

 

So on to my question......are there any good quality 500k linear push pull pots out there? I see a lot folks using Alpha (because that's about all there is), and the reviews are really mixed, with the majority of them being not so good. The last time I was performing this mod on my Gibsons was around 2005, and CTS push pull pots were abundant. Now I can't find them. Are there any other companies out there making a good quality push-pull pot? Thanks so much in advance, and I'm really glad I finally became a member here!

No clue to the pots. But let me welcome you to the HoC. You might consider posting a pic of your 150. We just loves the guitar porn.

Thanks, Kenny! I, too, love guitar porn.....it's just that my 150 is a bit "naked" right now. Got all the guts pulled out waiting on a harness from RS Guitaworks. When I get her back together, I will definitely post a pic of her. Thanks again for the welcome....glad to be here!
