I use a hammer and a BIG screw driver.....
Just kidding.. I use my trusty multi fit guitar tech spanner and a chunk of felt..
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
My solution . . .
Remove knobs? ... why bother? - just buy another PBG kit!
Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
Here's a method that works for me, what you do is find a piece of 1mm thick cardboard roughly 2 inches by two inches, next get a steel ruler (one used to mark out sheet metal), next use the cardboard to protect the finish on the guitar while you use the steel ruler to gradually lever the pot knob off the shaft while rotating the knob, eventually the knob should come off the pot.
Note: Make sure you have loosened any grub screws beforehand.
