Wulf Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi All, I wonder if you can help me? I own a Slash signature Gibson Les paul limited production VOS Tobacco Sunburst guitar with piezo. Recently one of the volume top hat knobs has cracked and is ready to fall into pieces. I ordered what I thought to be the correct replacement knobs from Gibson, although they are not the same. I ordered Gibson top hat guitar knobs vintage amber PRHK-030. There are quite a few details that differ. Are the original top hat knobs a different model, or is it just different manufacturing specs now? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why, but except for Speed Knobs all the "original" spare knobs are wrong, definitely all of them. <_< Until now I couldn't find out why.

kidblast Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have a few black ones, form my SG Classic (2006 build year) but, I guess that's not the color you're going for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi L5Larry, The differences are as follows: Own my original Top hat knob, the increment numbers are in a slightly different style and smaller. The colour on originals is more Amber, while the replacements are Amber but with a red tinge! There are also some dimension differences when looking from the side! Thanks for your help!
