CLEMBO Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'd like to move the volume knob for the LR baggs element pickup in my j45, as i want to use a rubber sound hole plug and the volume control gets in the way where it is now. I realise I can re fix it further into the guitar with a sticky adhesive pad, but has anyone used glue of any description to secure it? super glue?

drathbun Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I wouldn't superglue it. I would use double sided adhesive pads. They are easily moved and you can get rid of the adhesive residue with naptha. Why make it permanent when you just might change your mind? (As ask that about young girls who tattoo their upper chests - what will it look like when you're 70?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEMBO Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Yeah I think thats the way to go. Just need to find some self adhesive pads that stick! Any idea what I should "clean" the area of wood with, where I want to stick to? S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will pretty much remove all oils and gunk that would inhibit adhesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folkster Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I totally wouldn't detach the volume control. I've got a feedback buster that's rubber and I took a pocket knife and cut a hole where the volume knob is. It's much easier and doesn't mess with the guitar. Bonus: the soundhole plug works the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to use the Backbuster and the volume wheel, I'd remount the wheel so it is further out into the soundhole space and cut a notch or slot in the Backbuster to accomodate the wheel. I've never done it, but it is worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
