u/Malevole

Took off the knobs on my CV jaguar. Didn’t know about the hex screw on the side of the knob, so just pulled them. The metal rob that goes into the pot came out as well. See picture for reference.

Now the knobs won’t go back on. I can put them on partially but they spin around and aren’t engaging the pots. The rhythm circuit works when I plug in, but when the pickups are in standard mode it makes no sound.

Does this mean I’ve broken the pots and need to replace? Or is there some way to fix this?

Thanks anyone for your input!

I am trying to ID a Japanese Jazzmaster. I purchased it new from Guitar Center in the 90s, but I don’t recall which year.

I’d like to get some info about the guitar, because I’d like to replace the bridge and get a tremolo arm—and I don’t know the correct specs.

Post-holes on bridge are about 74mm from centre to centre, if that helps.

Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated!

I got some Gotoh compensated saddles installed by a guitar tech. He installed them as shown in the picture. This is different from other installs I’ve seen, where the middle saddle is usually flipped, and the left and right saddle are facing the same direction.

Does the positioning of the saddles matter, and if so, are mine installed incorrectly?

I’m struggling to get intonation on point as well. Not sure if this is related or just a drawback to the 3 saddle configuration.
