volume knob solutions

What solutions exist for dealing with accidentally touching the volume knob?

I'm a metal player, so for things like sweeps this volume knob is definitely in the way. It's convenient placement for doing swell effects, but bad for other stuff.

So I am aware of the two common solutions which are tone knob delete and moving the volume to the tone pot location. The other solution involves placing a rubber washer under the knob to create a bit more friction to make the knob harder to turn by accident.

Is there anything else out there? I really don't want to do either approach, cuz a washer seems like it will stick and tone knob delete will leave a hole to deal with.

Maybe a volume knob with a very stiff (but even) roll action?

PS: the volume pot in this guitar is part of the EMG wiring kit...it's a quality pot.

I smashed a deer in my 2023 Ridgeline. Looking for a grill guard now

Hit a deer two days ago going 65mph. Now going through the insurance rigamarole. I am thinking about enclosing the front of the truck with a brush guard/grill guard type of a cage. Any recommendations? Unfortunately, I will have to keep traveling the deer heavy route.
