Does Santana Retro use short or long shaft pots?

I'm trying to find a quality push/push pot for coil tapping on my new one.

Thanks!
 
You might have to do the hard work, of unscrewing the nut on the pot, and having a look. Replace it with the identical depth
I feel like the long shaft is only used on the biggest thickest guitars, old Gibson Les Paul's.

I feel like PRS uses short shaft on all of the guitars, makes sense from a CNC manufacturing perspective.
you only have to order short shaft potentiometers. All holes are drilled the same depth to the deck.
PRS ACC – 4111 if you look at Google images it is clearly a short shaft the only shaft PRS sells to the public.

3/8 of an inch versus 3/4 (6/8) of an inch So long shaft is twice as long, they are very long shafts, You need one heckuva thick maple top.

I changed all the pots on my sig Tremonti Used short shaft CTS.

I think you have to burn 3 minutes of your time.

Garrett is the only one that might know for sure.
 
Yeah, I'll look close and/or unscrew it. I don't think I've ever had to use a long shaft on any PRS, but this is my first ever Santana, and it's getting coil taps and custom wound pickups (nothing wrong with the stock ones, it just needs begs for some custom wound Zhangbuckers). :D
