Replacement fret buttons

So I've ruined my fret buttons. Don't ask how. I've contacted Red Octane regarding replacement fret buttons but I highly doubt anything'll come from that. Any suggestions? I have no fret buttons

I know you said not to, but....how did you wreck your frets?

Paint thinner

I read that Red Octane doesn't offer replacement parts. So my only hope is someone has spare ones I can purchase???? Yeah right. I'm SOL.

make a set of solo buttons right below the original fret buttons. if you know how to solder then your all good. just get some buttons and wire from radioshack or something.

EDIT: Wait a second...how did paint thinner ruin your buttons?

i would say buy a cheap used Guitar Hero controler. then take it apart then put them on.

Other off brand guitars do not always fit other controllers, I learned the hard way.

depends on the type of paint thinner.

A strong paint thinner will melt the crap out of a cheap plastic button.
