Stiffy Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 What is the safest and easiest way to remove a volume knob off a hamer sunburst arch top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I find a rag wrapped around the base, then pulled up and bunched around the knob usually provides enough purchase to remove the knob. Any attempt to use a lever under the knob will usually damage the knob, or far worse, the guitar top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Although I don't own one, the Knob & Bushing Puller from Stew Mac should do the job perfect. Just be careful like Setch said to not hurt the guitars finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthemBassMan Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I just use the rag trick like Setch says. It works well enough to not have to buy a special tool to do the same thing. L8R, Matt D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrapped a hankey around the bottom and pulled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
