Fast action pots for T8 Custom

Post by Tim Whitlock »

I need to replace the pot on my 1950 Fender Custom T8. The problem is finding one with nice fast action to get those quick doo-wahs. All the pots I find have too much friction. Anyone know of a good source for low friction 250k pots?

If a strategically placed drop of Tri-Flow down the shaft won't do the trick, I would check with The Art Of Tone up in Idaho Falls. I've had good luck with their special CTS pots that I've used in several of my rescues. For some reason, they seem "looser" than a stock CTS.
