Knobs glued on?
Knobs glued on?
I want to swap out the pickups and pots on my Eclipse 1 CTM but I can't shift the knobs. I assume they're glued on. Can anyone confirm the likelihood of this and offer a solution to getting the knobs off without destroying the pots?
What you need to do if your that weak is take your guitar down to the basement where your vise is mounted to your workbench, then clamp the knob in question into the vise. You then pull the guitar off of that pesky knob. Problem solved.
If you can't pull the knob off the guitar, just pull the guitar off the knob.
put a cloth over the body and use a spoon to lift slightly as you move the spoon around the knob gently prying all the way around until it lifts off. That is how I an many others have done it for years. Just be sure to protect the body with a cloth and gently pry.
Please check the thread dates before you reply, noob.
Oddly enough, I'm having this same problem on my Peavey Reactor. :lol
I'll stick around to see how this thread develops. I am curious if Peavey and ESP use the same kind of glue.
