Jazzmaster/Jaguar style thumbwheels

[Duggo]

Does anyone have a source for a Jazzmaster style thumbwheel that is big enough for a full sized pot? Is there such a thing?

Try Allparts.com
They are special pots with thumb wheel control. 250k while the lower body pots are 300k to 500k. Can't remember.

I had a similar need. I wound up buying regular ones and using a reamer to open them up a bit. It wasn’t too difficult.

Do you have the bracket? Will a full size pot fit (not the hole, but the base of the pot) without cutting a hole in the pickguard and having part of the pot stick out (which you may want if you're kind of weird)?

they did exist but you see them only on vintage jazz boxes with floating pickup and the controls sticking from under the pickguard , Fender offsets only use the minipots .

Nowadys jazz guitars use even smaller pots that are extra flat :

EY has rollers (MIJ or MIA size). Plus brackets for each etc.

When you go to that site above my post, scroll up to the search function and search for jazzmaster pots.
They have a few kits that supply every electrical part for the guitar.

If I’ve understood the OP correctly then the question is about the outer diameter of the thumbwheel, so that a full-size pot can be used rather than a “mini-pot”.
A Jazzmaster thumbwheel is a 1”/ 25mm diameter: a mini-pot is around 16mm diameter, so with a pickguard of 2.5mm you still have about 2mm of thumbwheel sticking out which is enough to work with.
For a full size 24mm diameter pot you would need a thumbwheel with a diameter of about 33mm to get the same amount of thumbwheel above the pickguard.

Short answer - no, I don’t know anywhere you can get such a thing as a 33mm roller disc / thumbwheel, regardless of whether it’s for a Metric or English / Imperial pot shaft.
(Also because the wheel circumference is flatter you would need a longer slot cut in the pickguard, and for a pair of pots might need to space them further apart.)

Think your are correct. I went through the mouser etc. catalogs until my eyes were exhausted and found zilch. But I have plenty of ebony scraps, shouldn't be too difficult to whip something up.
