Can you buy a switch tightener for Gibson style guitars?

    Edit: Nevermind. Google search for "guitar 5-in-1 cube" brought up lots of hits.
    Yeah, I've had mine for a few years. I use it for lots of stuff. It is great for pulling knobs off, too.

      Easy way to scratch your finish. Even channel locks would be better...they won't slip off as easily.

        I guess I'm just amazing then, because in 45 years of Les Paul styles I have never scratched the finish.

        Damn people, just be careful for a second. How tight do you need those things to be??? Finger tight usually works. No tool needed.

          I've always used needle noses as well for stubborn ones. I always just use my fingers otherwise by holding the nut and spinning the switch from behind to tighten. Just need to start where the switch will be where you want it when finally tightened. Once finger tight it just needs a little tiny bit of a turn from behind to snug tight. Very simple since they don't need much force to get properly tightened. They have never worked their way loose either.
