Carefully flip the guitar right-side-up.

Locate the knobs on the front of the guitar to the right of the pickups. These cover the potentiometers (or pots), which control volume and tone.

Using a flat object such as a pair of pliers, a flat head screwdriver, or a coin, carefully pry the knob up off of each pot. The knob may require a lot of force to remove.

Remove both knobs and set aside.
