    My neck pu tone control is scratchy.

    I'd like to replace it. I know I could clean it, but I've never liked the taper. Most of the change in tone occurs in a fraction of the pot rotation.

    Any thoughts on what pot to put in?

    If You want a different pot in there You should know what is there now. Comins site does not help at all. Maybe they would answer to a direct question?

    All I know is that the ’industry standard’ for a humbucker guitar is a 500 kOhm CTS logarithmic (LOG) pot. Why logarithmic? Because it sounds linear!

    Good luck to the repair!

    I’m guessing that Bill will respond if you contact him.

    For sure, he recently answered a question I had about a guitar he repaired that he didn't even build, though I was reluctant as those guys usually have better things to do
    But if he built it he'll answer.
