    personally, I'd just go with the old standard pots...

    250k audio taper for the volume
    250k linear taper for the tone
    and use a 0.047uF capacitor on the tone circuit.

    your squier probably is loaded with a
    250k audio for both volume and tone and either a 0.047uF or a 0.1uF capacitor...nothing wrong with this, if you can deal with the taper on the volume...

    If you have to replace the pots get cts or alpha. I would leave them as long as they worked.
