Hi all
I'm after a blend pot for a good quality blend pot for a Strat if anyone has one up for grabs?

    The pot is just a pot. It is the way that it is wired that makes it a Blend control.
    Be seeing you.

    @Funkfingers I didn’t realise that. I thought it had some snake oil inside to take it completely out of the circuit  :)

    I guess what the OP is meaning is a no-load pot so that the blend control can be isolated from the circuit. i.e. the pure sound of the neck or bridge pickup can be heard with no tiny amount of the other pickup present. Whether that is actually necessary is arguable. It's worth trying a normal 250k pot before being limited by the availability of no-load pot types.

    Although Fender do a very nice quality no-load 250K pot, so it's not really a limitation.

    I’m just changing Pickguard in readiness for my refinished body... I thought i’d do the blend mod whilst it’s all out in the open :)
