I decided to play my Studio Custom at practice last night, and during warmup I felt a slight imperfection on one of the volume knobs. Closer inspection revealed a crack through the knob, and with a little further fiddling, the knob broke in half and came off. Moments later, the other volume knob exhibited the same problem. Both knobs were broken almost cleanly in half, and the tone knob doesn't appear to have the same defect. I inspected the guitar to see if there were additional damage, but I didn't see any evidence of impact or anything else. Has anyone seen this before on guitar that has spent most of it's time in a case?
They're the standard amber top hat knobs. I'm considering replacing them with speed knobs for a different look.
