Oldhippie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I´m sorry, that nobody answered your question. I have a Wildkat, but don´t know how long the shafts are. I´m also not sure, if the european Kats are same as the other counties. (Imean the diameter, not the length) Wait a little bit longer until somebody knows this fact exactly. I´m sure, there is someone out there in the forum. If you have a Kat , why not take the knob off and measure it....then you know. Look in the DIY and read how to remove the knob without damageing the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemans335 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The best way to take off knobs is to use a washcloth. wrap it around under the knob and pull up. This is what Epiphone recommends. Every Epi I've worked on (and we're talking dozens) uses standard pot shaft lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Epi's --- like most other Asian built guitars --- are generally built with metric pots and shafts, which are a different diameter than U.S. built Gibsons, so the same knobs may fit on Epiphones, Samicks, Ibanez, etc. but will not be interchangeable with Gibson knobs.

Thomse Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thanks everybody for the info .I was at work and wanted to order some chrome metal nobs. And thanks for the tip on how to take the nobs off. I will take them off and find out what size they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
