Removing Fender Stratocaster Knobs

this is how you remove the knobs from a fender stratocaster:

1. get a shoelace

2. put the shoelace under the knob

3. wrap the shoelace around the knob until the ends of the shoelace are on the opposite side

4. pull the shoelace equally from both sides GENTALLY

5. make sure to look out for the knob because it flies up and may land somewhere else (in this video, it hit me in the face...)

there you go!!! i hope it helped. i got this info from another person in a forum, so i thank him.

p.s. i am not responsible for any damages that could happen to your guitar if you mess up, so be careful.

Is that a highway one? looks just like mine.

[shortygryan]

no problem.

naw..it is not a highway.

will this work on a fender jazzmaster?

[shortygryan]

really, i'm not sure if it would work because i haven't tried it, but i think that since it is a fender model, you can probably take it out using this method.

the knobs on the stratocaster and jazzmaster look the same, so it might accually work, but i'm not sure.

This was pretty easy man, thanks a lot, goodbye to that stupid plastic underneath the knobs (:

i still dont know why they put that plastic on it.. it seems useless to me

[JohnnyMEldridge]

you could scratch your guitar doin' that.

[CybrWorm007]

Guys an very easy way is with a teaspoon just work around the knob. Added bonus is you will still have two eyes when done :)

Got rid of the rest of the plastic it was under my knobs and made a loud screetching noise whenever I changed the tone or volume, that covered my whole strat as well. I used a rubber wire without putting any marks on it.

[MsDolphinBOY]

some models you need a screwdriver!

[oneandonlyrisenangel]

Im scared of breaking it. lol

[MrGuitarrica]

Thanks again. Everything worked out fine=)

[MrGuitarrica]

Thanks man =)

Tried and it worked. =D

Too bad that one of my knobs, has a too small hole under it so I can't fetch the lace underneath it. I'll try with another tool =)

[MrGuitarrica]

Can this damage my guitar? =(
