Before you laugh at me, remember . . . . .

Before you laugh at me, remember, I'm only 15!

I bought a cheap Squier Standard Strat. Bought it cheap so I could learn to work on my guitars. My first project was changing the pickguard. Now the tone/volume knobs are wobbly. OMG! I was cracking up so much after I was done. I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face. I didn't have any parts left over. I don't know what I did wrong.

I don't think I'm good at fixing things. I want to learn on this guitar so I can mod my new Squier '51 later. This Strat has rough fret edges too that I also want to fix but my confidence for fixing things is kinda low right now! LOL

I'm such a dork.
