I want to replace the nobs on my Squier Bronco, but I can't figure out how to get the stock knobs off. 
There's no set screw or nothin'. Do I turn them counterclockwise and screw them off? Do they pull off? Do I haveta pry them off? Do I blow the muthers off with dy-no-mite?

It doesn't hurt to put masking tape on the PG to keep from scratching it when you try this. Also a good idea to pry from two sides, 180 degrees apart.

For that matter, why have I never thought of using dy-no-mite? |

Thanks again.

Anyway, are most pull-off-style knobs interchangeable?
