Did you look on the EMG website? I know there are 25K ohm blend pots available because I had one in my Modulus and it is now installed in my Carvin. A VVT configuration isn't the end of the world but if you like a blend control better it's worth the effort to hunt the part down.

You can use the stock pots and just solder the EMG's in.

My corvette uses a 500k Volume, 500k Tone and i think a 250k Blend.

The EMG pickups come with a 2x 25k volume, 25k Tone.

So if i use one 25k volume to as a master volume, 25k tone as master tone and then use the stock 250k blend pot, will it cause any problem?

Take a look at this page:

You should use the 25K blend pot with the EMG pickups. It looks like EMG doesn't sell the blend pot individually. It's usually wired into one of their systems. I have a BQC that had the blend control wired into the assembly. Sorry for any confusion.
