i dont know yet
its really late
i could just dremel a slight someting into the pickguard so i could the knob back or
run with one knob and one toggle and just cover it up with a little sticker or use some macrame to stealthify the holiest of holies

just to restate what i said in the video, the guy that i ordered the pickguard from had an INSANE turnaround time on it.

ordered on monday thru paypal (not ebay) with a note attached with the photoshopped pickguard missing the hole for the selector switch. Recieved it in the mail Friday. Arizona to Buffalo (made custom, not just a pickguard sitting in a pile of premade ones hanging on the wall) in 4 days. I honestly wasn't expecting this thing until January.
