How to safely remove the tone knobs from your guitar

Don't gouge your pickguard with a screwdriver! Here's my tricks for safely removing the volume/tone knobs from your guitar

I strongly encourage everyone to buy their guitars used! And the used-guitar-buying process that I most appreciate & support involves getting yourself out there and meeting new people, visiting new places, discovering new ideas...and you do that by traversing the used guitar market of your city. However, I recognize there are instances in which having a new guitar shipped to you is the most appropriate path to take. If you are thinking of buying a new guitar, please consider checking out one of my affiliate links. You'll be paying the same no matter if you use a link or not...but if you do buy a guitar with one of the links below, you'll be showing support for the Pinetop Jackson channel! So without further ado, below are some links to the guitars that I consider to be the backbone of the affordable guitar scene worldwide!
