Hi! I bought a mexican Telecaster HH brand new from musicstore.com. When I unpacked the guitar the tone knob just fell down to the floor. I thought well, I will just screw it back on and Thats problem fixed. But no! The screw that was there was too short, (compared to the other knob). So the knob could not be screwed on. Very frustration when you buy your first ”real” guitar and chose fender instead of everything else. It was not just the knob, but also the fit to the pot was not tight, it has large play. The diameter of the pot is way smaller than the knob hole. So when I screw the ”good” knob back it rotates excentricly. What the hell?, I thought f* it I dont have time to wait for musicstore to reply me and send my knobs or whatever they will try to do, I want want my guitar to be as its supposed to quick, I wanted to get rid of my frustration so I went and bought NEW fender tele/precision bass knobs and guess what. They also have an awful fit and concentricity but can be screwed on atleast. What the heck is the problem with my guitars pots? What should I do?? I even went to the guitar shop and the worker there showed me some teles, the knobs on those were flawless both to fitment and turning. Please help!! :roll: :cry:

Take it back and replace it with one that the knobs don't fall off.
