There is a little bit of movement (give) in each of the volume and tone knobs on my 20th. The guy at GC already tried tightening them, but perhaps the loseness has something to do with their tightness in the control cavity.
Is this something I should inspect and try to fix myself or do you guys recommend CS. I'd hate to trouble them for something silly.
BTW, I absolutely love this guitar. It is my pride and joy. It puts other guitars I've owned or played to shame. It's my baby. I named her " Honey Lee", after Miss Korea..................HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could take the knobs off and make sure that the nut that holds the pot in the control cavity is tight. It could just be some slop in the stem and pot. If it turns out to to be the stem and or pot then you could call CS and see where to go from there.

+1 on that. I have had that problem on guitars before, and a quick tightening of the pot nuts sorted it out.
