Linear Pots... Please Help.

[diggerbabydaggerbaby]

Hi,

Im building a project electric guitar and i'm trying to install a linear volume control instead of a usual rotary one. I don't know a lot about electronics but from what i've read im pretty sure i need a 250k pot. I emailed a pot company and they told me I needed an "audio taper potentiometer that has a logarithmic output" but they didn't have something like that.

can anyone let me know where or how I can find an affordable pot like this?

it needs to be pretty small, about an inch or so maybe with about an inch scale for shaft.
It should also be a surface mount like the regular ones.
spring-loaded would be a plus.

if anyone has any input on this please email me at [email protected]
instead of responding to this post.
Thanks.
