They have the nice gold reflectors on them too - IF you get the LP Custom flavor I have (Triburst LP Custom 1968 RI). Other finishes have these too, but Gibson isn't always known for their consistency. I have a 1970 ES-330. I bought a Casino so I wouldn't have to play the ES on our outdoor gig near the salt water. I put a black Pickguard and Witch Hat knobs on it, and I think it looks better that way. What do you think? Notes ♫ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I guess I never actually answered the knobs question: I tend to put reflector style knobs on my Gibsons because I like the look. The positioning of the knobs means I don't use them much anyway. Standard Strat knobs are fine on my Strats... and the volume knob is in a usable spot. I tend to leave the tones set... wide open on the neck and middle and rolled off a bit on the bridge (if they aren't wired that way I rewire them so they are). I like the highly knurled knobs on my Teles since one has to reach for the knob a bit. I've tried the flip control thing and it didn't help much as for reach. Lately I use a PRS onstage a lot and it has speed knobs which work well. Sometimes I'll rough them up a bit for grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I have few not-tele guitars that came with Tele knobs, which I really like, partly because they are so easy to role with my little finger.

MissouriPicker Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Sorry, I was thinking of another kind of knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Hey Surf! Nice to have you back. I just use the knobs that come on the guitar. I don't go by numbers. It's either all the way off, all the way on or backed off a hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
