Broken shaft…

Thursday I was trying to remove the volume and tone knobs on my electric guitar so I could adjust the height of the knobs (two were touching the finish) and one of the potentiometer shafts broke.

Replacing the potentiometer shouldn’t be too hard, since I’m pretty good at soldiering and they are relatively cheap. I just have to worry about getting an appropriate sized pot for the Epiphone, since most of the parts on it are metric rather than the US sizes that Gibson uses.
