4 Electronics tech's ... linear 2meg pots? Details?

Im not a tech, but I need to replace the volume and tone pots on a vintage guitar. I need QUALITY gear parts ... 2meg ohm linear potentiometers. But, I need ones with some physical turning resistance (so they don't turn with just a slight bump).

So, brand names ... up market. What do I ask for at a store?

    The word 'frequently empty' does not, in all honesty, do it justice; so enable me coach you the thank you to accessible with some mind's eye on *in simple terms* how empty the universe is, and *in simple terms* how opposed the universe is: - The 'liveable' share of the universe (ie, the place we are able to stay) is in easy terms a million x 10^-sixty 5 of the universe; it incredibly is a million divided with the help of 10 observed with the help of sixty 4 zeros - a superb decision so small that we've not got a attractiveness for it! - the traditional density of rely for the period of all yet a minute share of the universe is such as that of 6 specks of dirt in an otherwise empty Grand significant Station! - Even the 'liveable'' share is many times empty area, in that if an atom's nucleus have been to be extra advantageous to the dimensions of the sunlight then the innermost electron shell may well be at a distance 4 situations further away than Pluto, with no longer something between it and the nucleus! - on earth itself, there are quite a few billion species of existence, all yet some hundred of which might kill us the two rapidly or slowly! - And interior the overpowering majority of the Universe, we might the two burn, freeze, suffocate or explode interior of five seconds of exposure! So, a 'loving god' made this place for us, and the 'info for god' is in his advent and all around us!? If it is the superb info, then he's the two careless, hates us, or undeniable does not exist!

    Use a site such as http://www.axesrus.com/axeElectronicsPots.htm or http://torresengineering.stores.yahoo.net/2megpot.... for guitar specific pots. You can go on some guitar spares sites and get genuine Fender, Gibson etc, pots but you'll just be paying extra for parts that are the same or similar as quality ones from elsewhere.

    To be honest you'll get as good or better pots from the electronic component vendors such as Digikey, Mouser or RS Components. Unless it's a vernier or gold plated don't pay more than $10/£7.50 for a decent pot. If your local guitar shop has a workshop they may have a selection of pots and may be able to offer you on a good one but don't necessarily take their word for it especially if they ask for prices much above what I've listed. On the other hand 2M isn't a popular value these days (500K and 250K are the most common) and you may make out like a bandit and get some dirt cheap or better yet for nothing.
