Special Volume potentiometer that doesn´t loose tone in lowering volume

I´m looking for a volume potentiometer that won´t change volume in different frequency areas when i turn down the guitars volume.
Usually the higher frequencys might get lost or the other way around but i know there are som potentiometers who prevents this and keeps all the frequencies at even volume.

Anyone who knows what i´m looking for?
Need it for my Les Paul...

Rock on guys

Audio taper 500k instead of linear taper.

I don't think there are pots that retain the volume when rolled back. Try wiring your guitar vintage style. See the sticky on wiring in tone freaks forum.
I wired my LP that way and all the treble is retain no matter how much I roll back my volume. If you don't want to re-wire then add a treble bleed kit to the 2ends of the volume pot. That'll do it too. Check with Jonesy in the business classified for those treble bleeds kits.
