coreyhchan Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I just bought my JTV-59 Cherry Sunburst. When I was testing it out at Guitar Center, I had a little trouble with the above knobs they didn't seem very responsive and needed a little force/repetitive pushing before it would engage. That should have been a red flag. When I got home, it took many attempts before those knobs would engage and give me access to the different guitar models. Is that a defect in this particular guitar or are these knobs not that sensitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Sometimes these knobs are a bit too low and the bottom of the knob is obstructed by the body of the guitar as it is pushed down, preventing proper activation of the switch. A simple solution is to remove the knob and place a small wad of paper inside the hollow. When you replace the knob it will now sit a bit higher on the shaft allowing proper depression without obstruction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyhchan Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks for the tip but how do you take the knob off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Just pull it off. If it doesn't come off easily use a couple of spoons for leverage. Put some cloth beneath them to protect the guitar body and use the spoon tips to lift the knob straight up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
