Vintage shobud guitar tone pot recommendations

George King · From: Woodlawn,Illinois

I'm building basically an early style sho bud non pedal double neck steel guitar out of some vintage sho bud parts I've had here. It is a cabinet end style guitar similar to the old Don Helms shobud he used on the Wilburn bro show. Anyway I wanted to wire in a usable tone pot between the necks to get that old waw sound from the Hank Williams records. Where can I get this style pot and which taper pot do I need? If anyone has one or can't point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Thanks George

George,

Todd Clinesmith would be a good resource. Awhile ago, he was selling some 1MEG allen bradley pots for just this purpose:

I think it is generally recommended you use a linear taper pot and a .05 mfd cap to get that classic sound.
