Vintage knob question

I just got some vintage knobs from Pickguardian for my 4003. Did anyone else run into a problem where they didn't turn smoothly after you installed them?

They look great, but it's almost like they're to deep. There's a distinct difference between the vintage knobs and factory knobs as far as turning smoothness goes. I'm wondering if I should go out and buy 4 washers for the bottom to create some space.

Anyone else have this happen them?

loosen the screws raise the knob 1/16" above the pickguard and retighten the screws ...

What Jeff said.

Some knobs have "skirts" that will bottom out on the guard if set too low.

I had the same problem.
Do what Jeff said. Simple fix.
