switches shouldn't have to be super glued bak together, just down right un-wholesome.

If that's a Series II you can temporarily borrow a pointy knob from one of your Q boost controls.  It's a drag when the pickup selector knob breaks.  Been there so I carry a couple spares now.

Mica can sort you out.

Shrug.

16 bucks. I get it, but, that ain't gonna happen. Shucks - poetry intended.


I'll be long dead before the super glue wears out. (Hint freebie)

Not sure I understand... the plastic knob broke but the pot post did NOT break?

You are very fortunate, run out and buy a lotto ticket.
