hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Am I missing something obvious here? The tone pot on this MIJ Fender P is loose and there doesn’t appear to be any way of tightening it up. There are no screws in the silver knobs. Should they just pull on/off. They don’t seem to want to. My guess was there would be a nut somewhere, but I can’t see one. Scratching my head over this one. Any help appreciated.

Jakester Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Should there not be a nut on top of the pickguard to secure the pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Not certain abojut your specific control knobs, but generally if there's no grub screw in the side of the barrel, it usually means that it's push fit. I'm sure someone who knows more will be along shortly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
