Wood Switch Tips

[RVA]

I figured I would try cherry red, stained with a Stew Mac lacquer touch up marker. I have not decided if it works on this guitar, but I like the idea

Oh, this is an interesting rabbit hole of DIY switch knobs. :dood:

I can see a 3D printer in my future for this. A Hurst T handle would be a first project

"Never touch the red switch, except in case of emergency!"

Maybe I picked the wrong color.

Ebony wood is amazing. It is hard to believe it is wood. Shaping is getting a bit easier after my third try

Great custom touch, Ray.
If the threads seem iffy in the wood after you drill & tap it, a little superglue in the bore will stiffen things up.
Retap it after it's completely set up.

Good tip. Thanks Hack!
