Anyone know of a supplier for small pots to use for soundhole volume control? I am looking for something I can stick on the soundboard just inside soundhole;  adapting to existing USL type pickup.  Around 20K-ohm should do.   I know many acoustic pickup suppliers sell these as a unit with their pickups but haven't found a source for the discreet component.    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,  Dave

Allparts or WD should have something like that. If not, I'd check Radio Shack.

A little OT but
although I dont think you can buy them (only have them installed by an authorized Taylor dealer) but the expression system p/u setup is unbelievable! I had a Taylor 714ce with the first expression systems that were installed, boy they sounded fantastic, even though the guitar never really opened up the plugged in sound was amazing.
I wish there was a commercially available version of this system - just a couple little wafer thin disks attached to the underside of the top and a few non-intrusive knobs sticking out on the sides, beside the neck, brilliant and very discreet.
Cheers

Check Mouser.com they have a mind numbing catalog with every electronic part known to man. Bring aspirin.

I believe CE Distribution has what you are looking for
CE dist. They even have the Marshall bias pots that NO ONE seems to ever have.

What Evan said.   The thumbwheel pots might be a good configuration to mount inside the soundhole but I don't see any 20K.
Can't say enough good about Mouser. No minimum charge and very quick delivery.
