When I was building guitars I think we had some Bourns pots (among many) that were good quality (quiet) reliable and durable. And small. MAYBE 3/4" at the most.
I haven't tried buying them for ten years so no idea where to get them but I suspect the usual suspects have them.

The old fashioned large pots like Fender used for decades are 24mm size. The smaller ones Marshall used forever were 16mm size. If you look inside rack gear or mixers with a zillion controls close together, you will see 12mm size. This means diameter of main body.
Smaller than 12mm usually means a trimmer style pot.

I'm considering using a 100k linear in parallel with a 10-15k ohm resistor to make a fake log pot as Rod Elliot suggests here:
