I replaced the pots in my BaCHs with CTS (Gibson spec) pots.  The threaded part is 3/8" (8mm) long.  This is the critical dimension, since the cavity thickness is 1/4" (6mm).  It's actually a medium shaft. 

Short shafts are for Fenders with P/G or plate mounted pots.

Well, since most stores only make difference between long or short shaft I said short. Maybe I should've said; definitely not long shaft.

The short have only 6mm of thread, can't screw 'em without thinning the top. You could use the long shaft with a second nut and washer inside the cavity.
