Knob and Bushing Puller

A tool that could easily be made in the shop, but for the price, I'd rather repair another instrument and make $! Just buy this one! It works good.

I had a customer's late 50's Epiphone lap steel on the bench, needed to remove the original knobs without damaging the finish or knobs...the knob & bushing puller did the trick effortlessly and flawlessly. Pulling bushings are a breeze with the included hardware. This tool's a keeper!!

You can acheive many end results with a few bolts. pulling sleeves for bridge parts for instance is that easy. However this little unit is a clever little tool that one could make themself but never gets around to.

Only rated it four stars b/c it is so expensive! But, once you have one, you don't have to worry about scratching finishes on high-end guitars (or any guitar, for that matter), and you don't need to use the old, back-water methods (shoe-string, cloth over screwdriver, etc) anymore. Worth the peace of mind. Just gotta swallow the cost.

Does exactly what it says on the tin, cheers.

It does exactly what it says it does. Use a thin (and smooth) piece of pywood or lexan with a hole cut in it to help disperse the pressure so the tube doesn't leave small dents in the body work of soft bodied guitars. Or where the routing is such that it only leaves a small area for the end of the tube to rest on.

If you build electric guitars, you need this. Saves so much time & your fingertips!

Oh, where has this thing been all those years. No more wiggling underneath the edge of a control knob with a blade.
But a bit expensive...

In addition, this is also possible to use this as well as that for Tune-O-Matic stud's removal in a little modify.

This is the best tool at the time to change LP-type guitar's knob.
