Knobs

Anybody ever change the knobs on an epi g-310 sg? I want to put some new speed knobs with skulls in the casing but don't want to screw up what I already have. Do you just pull off the knob? Do i need an allen wrench like the manufacturer says, I don't see how one could fit under the knob. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. Thanks.

Any guitar for that matter. I'm sure they are pretty much all the same to change.

It's pretty basic. The knob just sits on a toothed-spindle, and you just pull the knob straight away from the body off the spindle of the pot. Some knobs lock onto the spindle using a small Allen screw on the side of the knob, but most just use friction and lock into the spindle teeth. You may want to use a small screwdriver to help pry up the knob if it's super-flush to the body and really tight, but most you can just pull off pretty easy. One quick note: When you have the knob off, take a sec and tighten down the pot nut. They can work loose over time, and it's just a good idea to make sure it's tight.

I just put Fender blackface-style amp knobs on my most recent Tele, and they look great... it really is the little things...

Thanks for the info. I really like the look of these skull knobs. Like you said, it's the little things...
