Jared GP Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I have a 1990 Gibson SG 61 Reissue that I purchased used. It came with the black bonnet knobs on it but was wondering if this model was supposed to come with reflector knobs? Did Gibson use both knobs and what is period correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Pretty sure the original '61 SGs had black top hat knobs with silver inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticsg Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yep should have the silver inserts. You may still have the original knobs. Sometimes when one of the silver inserts fall off, the owner will pull the others off so it matches. Thats a beautiful SG btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s my first love...got her when I was 16. so it should have Reflector Knobs? I’m compared these with the reflector and they seem to be different knobs. The reflector knobs are a bit different...I didn’t think it was the same exact knob with just a silver insert. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
