I thought the new run (2013) came with 500k pots from stock?

Did not know you changed to 500k pots Bob, mine was from your first run of 60 Customs.

Wow, you have a Fire Sparkle 60 Custom from the very first run! Yes that would have been 250K pots.

Very nice! What's that knob on the tip of the tremolo arm?

I added a Mosrite string guide and modified the tremolo arm to fit my style of playing. The knob is off a Chet arm from a Bigsby.

I like it under my pinky finger almost all the time.

Did it just fit on the original arm, or did you modify/trim it?

I did modify the arm, I know I should leave it alone. I cut it down and threaded it on the end. It works great for me and all I have to do is replace the arm to put it back to original.
