PunchinPreacher Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 hi guys! I was told about a old pot that used to pop up from flush when pressed so you could adjust it and then if you pressed it again, would hide flush. I'm looking for a few of these for my guitar, and not many shops know about them. I'm told they were used on Yamaha APX series guitars about 10 years ago. Does anyone know or remember these? Better yet, Does anyone know where I can find some? Thanks, PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! Is it still the same thing? the Push/Push pot? Thanks a lot bro! GB,PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzocchi705 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 You mean sorta like the ones on the Ibanez WD7? Ibanez call em tone lock pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunchinPreacher Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hey guys, I just found another guitar with the same pots. I've not seen the ibanez one to know the pots... but I found one on every Talkamine that has the Graph-Ex pre amp EQ. So I'm looking for those!! Whoooohooo The search is on AGAIN!

Marzocchi705 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 The WD7 is there wah pedal, look on the site for a pic. I think thats the kind of pots you want, if it is i'll ask my tech teacher tomoro to see if he knows anyware to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunchinPreacher Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I've contacted Takamine and they said they will not sell me replacement pots, and that they're PCB mount pots. I can deal with both physical and PCB mount Pots. Does anyone know where I can get these? And the ones on the tone-lok ibanez pedals are the same as what I am talking about.... pop-up from flush. thansk guys! PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 you know i forgot to mention unless that you are using a realy thin line guitar there isnt' much reason you culdnt' use the push push regular pots. they would work the same. in fact i had my guitar routed on top so that the pots are nearly flush with the body and had plenty of room to go the little extra step further. i mean they would still be working even when not able to be turned ie flush but however they would be flush if you know how to use a dremel you can hook it up.. but anyway good luck.

daveq Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 AllParts used to sell a tiny pcb push/push pot. I didn't care for it myself but it may be what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
