I have a jackson rhoads i want to remove the volume knob on because it gets in the way of my picking hand.

i was looking at tesi kill switches but not sure which one would fit. also, i've seen people just plug the hole with little a home depot purchase



curious if anyone here has used something to plug unused pot holes in their guitar. especially in jacksons, assuming the pot holes are a specific/particular size.

I dont have pic, but any black screw with machine threads and nut will work. Just dont want it to be too long for cavity.

Plus a screw in the guitar is metal as fuck

Just remember, if i am wrong(haha never) you can go to home depot and grab one bolt and nut black. I would use one 2"

If you have a foreign made jackson, the hole will be smaller. If you have a usa, that should be the size that i said

Well, if it has to do with toxic masculinity or any skill a man should have, I have it. Probably why I suck at guitar and marriage, all my talent was allocated to other endeavors

Many many times. They’re sold in the bulk fasteners department at Lowes/Jerry’s/Home Depot.
 
A thumbtack on the outside and a piece of cork on the inside is a pretty easy go to.
GL!
