Title: Anyone know where I can get silver speed knobs?
Post by: Sifu Ben on March 30, 2008, 07:25:23 PM: I'm looking to refit and upgrade my Epi SG, and I can't seem to find any. They must exist as the Platinum SG Special they did had them.

At least it's not solid silver. Could lead to tragedy if you ever get intimate with a lady werewolf. :(

Eyes front, soldier!! :x

SERIOUS ANSWER: I have never seen silver speed knobs for sale anywhere.

This place sells Gibson and Epiphone spares though... (http://www.rosetti.co.uk/spares/pages/mainsparespages/knobs.htm)

Post by: ToneMonkey on March 31, 2008, 01:33:51 PM: \Me neither, but I have seen them on the front of old stereo's and things. Might be worth checking out a junk shop.

I've checked there.

They have all the 'cartoon' colours, like blue, etc. but no silver.

Can I choose the weapons? I'll do a Johnny Mac and say Kochs at 10 paces.

Post by: Mr Ed on March 31, 2008, 01:54:48 PM: What about using Tele-style knobs instead? That'd certainly be different...

Post by: Philly Q on March 31, 2008, 02:15:09 PM: Schaller make a solid brass, chrome-plated speed knob. Not the same as the semi-matt finish on the Platinum, but would match if you have chrome hardware.

The only place I know that sells them is Touchstone Tonewoods (item 5151 on this catalogue page):

Post by: Sifu Ben on March 31, 2008, 02:43:58 PM: Thanks for the links, I didn't want OTT shiny bling, and I was thinking of a brushed aluminium scratchplate, so I wanted knobs more in keeping with that. The Schaller matt chrome Tele knobs have potential.

Post by: Sifu Ben on March 31, 2008, 03:10:26 PM: they're my usual first port of call for cheap upgrade gear. I hadn't noticed that they had brushed chrome tele domes (it's off to the side of the main pic), I think that could be the way I go.

Post by: Mr Ed on March 31, 2008, 03:36:34 PM: Looks good, aye. They pretty much have the same stock as another great site - www.guitarfetish.com - but are based in the UK and the site is nowhere near as well organised. The GF one is really good.
