New neck for my Mexican Telecaster coming soon.

I’m not sure if your Mexican Tele use push-on knobs or grub-screw ones. I’ve seen both on Mexican Teles depending on the level of thd range they come from.

If push-on, count the splines on the current pot shaft. If it’s 18 spline, then the current knobs won’t fit a 24-spline CTS pot.

If grub-screw, make sure you order solid-shaft pots.

And make sure the pots are short-shaft ones as there’s only the thin control plate to mount to, not a thicker wooden body.

It actually has two grub-screw type knobs, but I going to be replacing the two original 250k A solid shaft pots with two new 250k A CTS splined shaft pots that have short shafts, I have already got two chrome grub screw knobs that fit splined shafts that I can use.


I'm also thinking of swapping-out the stock scratchplate for a new one, either a white one or a white pearloid, the stock one is getting a bit bent out of shape and I've tried straightening it up before with little success.
