the volume knob on my schecter damien-6 is loosening. I tried searching the forum, but I couldn't find it. I admit that I am a noob when it comes to guitar repair, but thats beyond the point. Is their a way to tighten it without the aid of a paid tech? that would be preferable.
thank you for your time.

pull up on the knob (or loosen the screw if its a metal knob and then pull up). It should come off, there will be a nut holding the volume pot to the body. get a wrench and tighten it. push the volumene knob back on.

i dont know exactly what type are on this guitar but thats the standard way to fix a loose knob

I need some more assistance. thanks for the volume knob tip, I fixed that, but, just now, my trusty schecter seems to have a failed ground, as the only sound I can get out of it is a low but loud buzz. I can't find any electrical schematics and I need to know where the ground is situated as I am inexperianced with such matters.

solder the ground wire to something metal inside the cavity... like the bottom of a different pot

do you get guitar sound AND buzz or just buzz??

else you might have accidentaly loosened a wire while tightening the volume pot

Shit, all you can really do is sort out the wiring with high quality stuff, plus clean your amp jacks, they can cause a fair bit of noise!
