    Good evening. I’m searching for this 1 ohm 2 watt resistor. From the looks of it I believe this is a Vishay/Dale.

    I looked on Mouser and they have some on order but not expected in for a couple months. I’ve also searched Google/eBay/Amazon, etc. without any success. Any recommendations on another reliable option? Thanks.

    i don't believe that you would need to find the exact brand nor would it matter, but, i have to leave that up to you. good luck!

    A resistor is a resistor. Don't buy into the vintage electronic hype. To get the same exact sound, you would want a multimeter to compare the resistor you like in that guitar to the one you are about to install since there is a tolerance of 5-10% on those. In addition, resistance value can vary due to ambient temperature.

    Are you certain that its a 2 watt resistor? I recently did a build in which I used the 1 watt Vishay/Dales and they were much larger than yours. Here is a 1 watter with "CPF3" printed on it so I'm not sure that number is the wattage rating. These are also in stock at the moment.

    https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/CPF11R0000DKE14/?qs=AgiByKCM3cAaR16CRqTTBQ==

    Here is another...

    Both of these are much closer in size to the one shown in your pic and 1 watt will be plenty for a bias reading resistor.
