So I got a Fender Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom and i'd really like to have the look and feel of the regular tele knobs. Would regular tele knobs fit and be an easy install?

The current knobs are these:

Yes, if you can use a screwdriver without damaging the guitar and hurting yourself/others. :wink:

Hi
Don't know if you did this yet, but knobs are ez to take off.
Just loop a piece of tough string under a knob one full wind and pull up trying to keep the string ends even on both sides.
Don't pull too hard cause you may send it flying across the room!
Just get knobs that fit the pots, remember positions of 1 and 10 and push on.
Finished.
Good luck to ya.

FYI, both 'witch hats' (on the '72) and 'regular' Tele knobs have a screw to keep them in place, they're not push-on. That string trick, although useful elsewhere, might do some damage here...

Of course, if the string is tough enough, it'll do the job even without a screwdriver. 8)
