I found a nice gently used Ibanez RG1520GK, but it's got some issues I'm trying to resolve.  I'm upgrading the pickups with Seymor Duncan's, as well as all the pots.  The volume pot is scratchy, the 5 way switch is installed upside down, and the volume pot for the GK access has a sticky spot that almost feels like it's a detent in the center of the rotation.

My plan is to replace all the pots and the 5 way, but I don't know what kind of pot is used for the GK volume control; it has no markings on it.  I found an Ibanez schematic but it doesn't have any ID for that one pot.

Anyone here know about these rare birds?

The "Synth VOL" pot is 50K Linear taper  - same as GK-KIT-GT3

Thanks again Elantric!  It feels like there's a detent in the center of the pot travel, but that's not a deal breaker. - - EDIT I found this at Allparts.com :)
