Any push/pull volume pot should work fine. In General, Humbuckers use 500 K pots, and singal coil pick ups use 250 K pots.

It will say on the package, unlikely to say 250k or 500k on the actual control.

You can test it with a multi-meter, I found both read a little under value like 450k for 500k pots ect..

If your guitar came with humbuckers, it most likey has 500k volume pots.

oh also, the wires need to be detached when you take the reading, or you reading the pick up value.
