Tone/Volume Pot Help

[Thrash]

Are the pots from Stew mac at the site below decent or should I look for others? I need new pots for a RG and a Strat. If there are better pots, not to pricey let me know where.

Also what is the diff between linear and audio taper?

Thanks

I hear the Dimarzios are pretty good. As far as the Strat goes, I'd go with original Fender replacements if the Strat is nice enough.

Linear is a fixed gradient taper and audio is a curved, exponential (x^2) taper.

I havent used fender pots but if the're the same quality as the rest of the electronics, Id go with dimarzios.

i've never tried the pots from stewmac, so i don't know about their quality...

Go for dimarzios or CTS pots -- (audio taper is what i prefer)
CTS pots cost about $5 a piece from 3bay, dimarzios maybe more than that...
just make sure you get the right values... 500k for the RG and 250k for the Strat (usually)
