remove tone/ volume knobs?

does this same technique work with knobs on push/push pots? i don't want to yank the shaft out of the pot. did that once on an Epi LP with push/pull pots.

Yes, same techniques.. you just have some extra room underneath after that first pull.

Yeah, definitely not an area of a guitar you want to put too much pressure on.

What's funny is, I think I know you. You in the band medicine bug?

No, my "pillbug" moniker comes from an album cover drawn by Pushead (artist for Metallica, etc.) for the band Downer... he called it the pillbug.

Crowbar works great; if you don't have one handy a claw hammer will do
