Hey everyone.
Great forum. Amazing guitars from everyone.
I have a question for the early JM guys. I need Volume and Tone knobs (strat style)for the solid shaft pots.
Ive missed a few on ebay here or there. Thinking of just drilling a splined knob a hair under the size of the solid shaft, and then heating the shaft slightly and pressing it on
Any tips or other ideas are appreciated!

I don't know if I've ever seen solid shaft strat knobs. They're usually the splined press-on type.

Re: New member! Quick question about knobs
It's possible that they drilled the knob holes to enlarge them slightly so they could use the solid pots? Idk, as far as I know if it originally had strat knobs on it it probably was supposed to have split post pots. I just did some quick Googling and I can't find or think of anyone that sells solid shaft strat style knobs, but maybe someone here has a source.Theriff wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 5:14 amI have a 59 jazzmaster.
