I'm wanting to experiment with mounting magnetic pickups in the sound hole and am looking for some kind of slick way to deal with a volume pot. I like how LR Baggs deals with the volume for their Lyric and I like the dial that the DeArmounds use too. Any one out there messing with this stuff too and if so do you know where I could find volume posts in either style? A few years ago I built a massive modular synthesizer and the hardest part often was finding the right parts so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check Digikey.com or Mouser.com. If it's electronic they will have it.
