Does a no-load concentric pot exist on Earth?

Postby friendship » Thu Apr 14, 2016 11:49 am

I have a Squier Cabronita that sounds great, but I like to use tone knobs. The cavity doesn't really accommodate a second pot without awkward crowding, so I thought maybe a concentric pot would be a good idea and save me the hassle of permanently modifying the body. But I also really like the bright, open sound of the pickups with no capacitor load on it, so I'd like to be able to switch the cap out of the circuit. Does a no-load concentric potentiometer exist?

Still haven't found one, but what I did find was a way to fudge a pot for no load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN3SlH-cEAg

Not totally certain if this can be done with stacked pots but if so I am In Business.
