Concentric tone pots that fits a Custom 24?

[Torstein]

I'm no fan of the master tone control, and prefer seperate tone knobs for the bridge and neck pickup.

I'm struggling to find a concentric tone pot that will fit my '06 Custom 24. Does anyone have any tips for finding the right one?

It needs to be 500k/500k, not short shaft (the usual short pots will not fit through the maple top, I've been told) - so maybe above 9.5mm shaft, and imperial size. Any experiences?

I know nothing about the company and whether they merit your trust. I like CTS pots. I checked the CTS site to verify that they made concentric pots, which it looks like they do.

Thanks for chiming in! If I understand correctly, those are not long enough for a PRS (they work for strats, where there's only a thin pickguard).

Yup. I missed that.
Amazon has them.

So I've found these so far, but they're metric and not imperial:

After a fair bit of googling, it doesn't seem to exist.

The short shaft is enough for the PRS; take the pot out and see for yourself

I see a Amazon search but not a particular item. Could you link the item itself? Might be a regional thing with the amazon website.

Which concentric pot exactly?
