Busy P - To Protect and Entertain (feat. Murs)

Ed Banger Records got too big, too fast. In a flurry of hype, I-was-there-first banter, and musical inbreeding, the Parisian collective represented an alternative cool one minute, a trendy frat boy favorite the next, and an utterly passe… (in post Busy P, "To Protect and Entertain (feat.

One easy way to customize your guitar's look and possibly even the sound is to put on some new volume and tone knobs. This is one of the quickest customizations you can do becuase control knobs are largely available in many different materials and styles.
I personally like taking out the stock knobs for some wooden ones. They create an organic and high end look that also may improve the sound since it will be vibrating through wood instead of metal or plastic.

Along with just about any kind of wood, you can obtain them in silver or gold painted metal or various plastic forms. They can come in numerous different shapes and sizes so there should be a good match for whatever type of guitar you have. The wooden volume and tone knobs generally cost more but its worth it for the quality. An idea that usually works well is to get knobs made out of the same wood as the fretboard.

The best part about customizing your guitar's control knobs is that most of the time you will be able to pull the stock ones off yourself. Just pull straight up on them and they should slowly slide off, but if it seems like they are not going anywhere you may have to take them to a guitar person to get them removed. Sometimes they are just stuck on there really well and you don't want to damage your electronics by ripping one off. Volume and Tone knob customization is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to significantly improve your electric guitar.
