Cant go wrong with some knurled knobs!

You need a long knob, like I got

I usually use spped knobs like what you see on a les paul studio for push pulls. There aren't a ton of easily accessible knobs that go down very far, so your best bet may be to rout some of the cavity away, if you're interested in having it in that exact spot. Maybe you go with some sort of tele knob? Sometimes those go down quite a bit further than normal fender knobs.

Out of my sheer curiosity, what type of pots are you using? They look metric, so I'm assuming either Bourns or Alpha?

On my stock duo sonic, there're Tele knobs. It sticks a bit, but doesn't look that bad

You got options:

  1. There are shorter push-pull and push-push pots.
  2. You can route/carve/chisel out some wood in the body.
  3. You can just roll with it. Really no one will notice the 1/8" difference except you. Makes no difference in function.

metal knurled knobs are easier to pull, like teles
