standard pots and cap for anything humbucker based is generally 500k pots and normally .022f cap, but this really is an individual choice, pots and caps go towards the sound your guitar produces somewhat, personally i would stick with 500k pots and get a few different value caps as they aren't expensive, try one if you dont like the sound change it for another, se how it goes

Find a local Guitar Center and buy Fender parts, they aren't expensive.

if you buy an all parts kit with cts pots and orange drop caps thats fender parts anyway, you'll probably pay more for the logo. But i would be inclined to go on ebay or amazon for them
