Acoustic Preamp

How do you fix one of the electronic knobs on an acoustic electric guitar?
The Notch Freq. knob on my acoustic electric guitar is up, and it doesn’t work. How would I fix this? Here is a picture of my guitar, and it has Ibanez SRTn Preamp.

I’m not quite sure what you mean by the knob is “UP”
from what it sounds like you have just popped the knob off the shaft, or cracked the inside of the knob so that it’s no longer tight on the shaft.
Go ahead and gently try to pry it all the way off and inspect the Hole/tunnel…whateveryoucallit that fits over the potentiometer shaft.
Also try turning the shaft by itself without the knob on it. I don’t know what that control does…but if it still doesn’t work, then it’s probably gone bad on you. If it does work, and the knob is not stripped out or cracked, go ahead and just push it back down on the shaft.
If the knob itself is broken, try to order a knob form Ibanez, or go to a Radio Shack or guitar shop with your guitar and try to find a knob you can replace it with. There are tons of knobs to buy out there. I’m sure you could find one that would fit OK.
If you still have no luck, ask about your problem at the Ibanez forum:
