I replaced my axis volume knob with one from a luke 1, from day one of owning the guitar in 2004. I just prefer it. It doesnt really center properly on the split shaft of the axis without a bit of inginutity however.

Currently, the volume pot is old, and is very difficult to turn.
I thought about using some de ox, but figured, for the 8-10 bucks, I'd just replace it with the solid shaft. Solve 2 issues with one swap.

Any issues with this anyone can mention before I go for it?

Thanks in advance.

It will be fine - I have replaced mine with solid shaft CTS pots several times, and even put a hidden tone circuit (550K pot with .022 cap) in the control cavity.

I have swapped the pots on my red Axis and Sparkle ASS with solid shaft CTS pots. Works just fine.
