Vintage Brass Gibson Tophat Guitar, amp, pedal knob
This listing is per knob
I wanted a solid metal take on the Gibson style Tophat knob. But like most Gibson style knobs, the clear resin nature of them make them difficult to replicate. So I have to come up with something inspired by, but not replicating.
So here we are with some lovely Brushed Brass Gibson Tophat knobs. Course just cause they were inspired by a Gibson knob doesnt mean they can only be used on a Gibson. You can use them on any guitar, pedal, amp, keyboard, or anything else that has a knob. I might put one on my car radio.
Made from Brass, I have hand patinaed them to form a lovely color, and age to give these knobs an older looker and feel. Perfect for that vintage or Relic with a brass vibe. Steampunk some might say. Because of the nature of brass, and patina, as well as the handmade quality of these knobs. Each one will look a little different. Although I put a large amount of effort to make sure the patina from knob to knob matches as best I can.
They will also change and adjust as the player uses them in their environment. In some climates and users hands they will even form the lovely tiffany green, or blue colors brass is known for. Although because of being handled this will likely only form in the ticks marks and numbers. I can wait to see this happen to some knobs over time!
Because these are numbered, but not engraved with any letters, or words they are sold per knob. So make sure to select the quantity of knobs you need. The weight and feel of the knobs is fantastic. The knobs replace all stock knobs that have a 6mm (.236") split or .25" solid shaft pots. Knobs have a threaded stainless steel allen screw to secure them in place. .050 allen key required for install (included) Super durable construction.
Made from solid brass material mean these will last several lifetimes of wear and tear.
These are .990" (25.15mm) in Diameter, and just over .5" (12.7mm) tall.
Made with care, and precision in Tucson, Arizona USA.
The default size on these fits most splined or split shaft knobs. Like the CTS Split Shaft, or Splined pots. If you have a .25" solid shaft knob on your guitar, select that size from the dropdown.
