Expensive yea, but... the Callaham knurled knobs are really really really great (as is all of their hardware I've used).   8)

Excellent, the plot thickens :D

Yeah the existing knobs were annoying me, too bright chrome and not enough grip for my pinky for volume swells.
I bet the Callaham ones even sound better!

Yeah, I've spent a small fortune on Callaham stuff now but it is very good...

I always thought Callaham = tonal goodness.

Knurling is cool so if its knurlier then its better cos' you get knurly tone so no plot lost.... :? Its your new baby so you drop cash on it thats what we do.  :D

I used to work in an engineering workshop and made lots of my own tap and die wrenches, with blued (heat until red hot and dip in crude) knurled handles and polished inbetweenies. You can get very carried away with knurling, as you have now done.  :D  I bet they feel good, feel is very underrated, I feel.

I did a bit of knurling myself when at college making taps and things, there's nothing like the smell of freshly knurled steel in the morning.

Hope they come in tomorrows post sho I can feel the knurl :D

I love Callaham stuff, and I also recently discovered Glendale Guitars.

I've got a couple of their Extreme Fat Neck Plates, and am duly impressed. Check out their Broadcaster knobs!
