Have you ever tried removing your guitar’s volume or tone control knobs but couldn’t?

Too difficult to grip or pushed too tightly on? This is how to do it without damaging your guitar body:

Find a thin piece of fabric such as a t-shirt, a sock, or something similar. Slide the edge of the material underneath the knob and try to get it all the way around. Next twist the fabric up and use it to pull the knob up and off the potentiometer.
Simple when you know how!
