Sterling Jason Richardson 7 knob issue

[Metalhead1797]

Hello,
I purchased a Sterling Jason Richardson 7 String awesome guitar and nice neck. However I just noticed an issue with the volume push push knob to engage the 12db boost knob Is literally tightened down to the point I can’t engage the boost. Anyone know what the problem can be? not really experienced with working on guitars.

Most likely culprit is that the knob is mounted too low on the shaft of the pot, so you don't have enough room to depress it. I'd try loosening the set screw on the side of the knob and leaving a little more space under it.

If you take the knob off and you still can't depress the push/push switch, you might need to replace the pot. In which case you can order the pot, or get in touch with MM customer service, and they can help you out.

That knob issue on the Sterling Jason Richardson 7 could be tied to faulty signal encoding or memory handling in the guitar’s onboard electronics. A reliable flash memory like the S25FL256SAGMFIR01 would ensure consistent parameter storage and faster response, especially useful if the electronics require frequent firmware reads for tone control or switching functions.

Thanks for the advice.

Before replacing the pot you could try this, it worked for me on my L3:

there's a plastic tab on the side of the body of the potentiometer. When I'd hold that tab in, the knob would lock in the down position, so I wrapped a zip tie around the pot. Doesn't look pretty but it works.
