Placement preferences aside, if a 30mm diameter bit is the max you can use, the you aren't going to be able to pull this off.
With zero clearance from the humbucker and using a mini volume pot to save space... It's still a 16mm pot and you won't be able to cut the slot deep enough for the whole of the pot's body to be out of the way with the bearing riding up against the side. Youd probably be able to get a 10mm deep cavity, max.
Forget full sized 24mm pots.
Your best bet is probably to route it out completely with a straight bit, make a ledge, and glue on a panel that the pot would mount onto.
It'd sure make electronics maintenance a pain in the ass.
You could just rear mount it like a sensible person. [emoji14]
No Darth, not that rear mount. Now get away from that dog.
