Topic: Why no knob on rhythm/treble switch?

Inquiring mind wants to know:  Why is the little screw-on knob gone from Joe's signature Les Pauls?

check the pocket in the case... There will be one in there..  Those tend to get destroyed during the shipping process.

Oh, I saw it in there, just couldn't figure out why the guitar came "some assembly required" so thought it might be off for some particular reason?

I've always been a "buy it off the rack" kind of guy - not an "open the box from Gibson" guy.  Thus my confusion...

Those instructions are only any good if they are in "JapanEngrish"...i.e.

"The plastic knob protection is putting on humorously by the twisting of by hand in a clockwise motion that gives feelings of happiness"
