I have a Deluxe Players Strat. I have had if for a little less than a month. I was turning the volume knob and it fell off. Guitar Center said it looks like they may have tried to force the knob on and just got it on enough to hold the knob but it broke the shafe loose going into the pot. If I replace this mystel will it void the warranty. I have to give the guitar up for a week or two for a warranty service dealer to fix it. Also it is an hour drive.
Thanks

Here's two schools of thought:

1. Unauthorized repairs/customizing on the guitar will certainly void the warranty.

2. if you truly know what you are doing and you use an exact replacement Fender pot, your repair/replacement should be virtually undetectable. Hence, it would still look OEM if the electronics were ever examined under some future warranty issue.

Now, it's a question of conscience.

I know from experience that you`ll have to go through an authorized Fender repairman or you may risk the chance of voiding your warranty. If you try repairing it yourself you may do more damage.
