So, a while back I saw a Net site that had ultra spiffy caps and pots for guitars (not just CTS, but made to their own specs.) I, of course, went to the site, the stuff looked good, and I promptly forgot the name and URL. Anyone know who this might be? Thanks.

280K Super Potentiometer-Solid Shaft

These pots are manufactured by CTS specifically for RS Guitarworks. We designed the potentiometers to our specs, which exceed those of the CTS pots that are and have been the industry standard for over 40 years with Gibson®, Fender® etc. The RS Guitarworks "Super-Pot" is made with tolerances that are twice as tight as the normal CTS pots used in even the most expensive Strats® etc. We also had the cheap aluminum shaft replaced with brass for better durability, the target resistance was designated so that our pots will never fall below 250k and never exceed 300k resistance! We chose CTS’s old-school heavy carbon resistance path instead of the inferior silk-screening currently used by many other makers and more important, we custom designed the taper specifically for electric guitar volume controls. Our custom taper gives smooth even response throughout the range of motion. You will not experience any steep drop-offs or uneven taper. Together these features represent what is without doubt the ultimate potentiometer for electric guitar applications. These new pots are available in both split and solid shaft to cover most any guitar application where a 250k pot is suitable.

Maybe this one?
