Bit of string to stop it falling into the cavity when you undo the nut?  Then thread the poker chip and nut back over the string.

this ^^^^^
Hope i'm wrong but it looks tight to wether you have enough thread to screw the nut on after you've placed the poker chip on , fingers crossed !.

Looks great, now get the knobs colour coordinated, and fill in the shallow bit of the Bigsby with red too !!!!!!!

Mm I’m hoping that the switch has a bottom nut which can be adjusted to allow the top thread to extend further out! 

Its an aluminium chip so is quite thick. 

We shall see!

That one was from Ebay. I think it was about £8 but its decently made. Was from a Uk seller.. probably re-selling the same £3 China ones mind lol. 

I went for the Uk one cos I thought delivery would be quicker.. still took almost a week lmao.

There is zero flex in them, being metal and all. On the Gretsch its fine because the top isnt carved there. On an Lp it may be different?

Thanks for the info ! I’ve no idea where my dice knobs came from and a mate gave them to me. 
Thats a good point , might not work ..!!
