I have seen knobs on the upper left corner(RH guitar) by the neck. As far as thickness goes either option works. There are builders who have 4 band equalizer on the side, no reason not having knobs there also. Number one rule for CBG's "There are no rules"!

Hi Michael, I've pt the knobs both on the lid and on the top. It's just a matter of YOUR preference. No rules in cbg building.
As to the second question. I make a thin face plate for the knobs and Jack. I then cut a hole in my cbg slightly smaller than the face plate, so i can mount knobs to face plate, run my wires, then i mount the face plate , with per attached knobs over that hole in the thick cbg wall or lid (wherever your'e mounting) .
Hope this helps.
Rock on,
Poor Steve

One of a kind! I especially love the slide holster.
What are those two pegs protruding from the pickup area?

Pegs are from the horseshoe coil that was in the electric razor . i used the coil as a pickup ,  it seems to pick up between the poles , middle string is a bit quieter than the rest ,  but not too noticeable .
