I mainly use Mojotone branded Alpha pots 3/8" shaft x 3/8" length along with matching size Mojotone CTS pots. These two brand pots are sized for Mojo to work together size wise and are long enough to use a face plate.

BTW! without bringing that other pot thread back up, which I should probably do.. I ordered 4 500k Alphas when I got the stuff for my last build and they all measured at least 3-5% over. Good for the Gibsons and like under $2!!

That thread is on the other page of this thread, isn't it.. I will cross this over there later so it's easy to find.

Yes that is the thing with CTS, they will build to spec so it is understandable that some merchants may have better (for us) pots than others that just order the plain jane pots.

There are a lot of options for custom built pots.
