Knob - Speed, Embossed Numbers, Gibson Style

This knob is only available as a push on.

This is a fine spline knob and does fit CTS split-shaft pots. We checked this against the CTS pots we carry in house. The knob height is .48"

Hi, the numbers on these are embossed. There is very little visual difference but the numbers on these are slightly more 3D. I hope that helps.

These are non-recessed knobs.

These knobs are designed for use with a 1/4" knurled shaft.

There is more mass to the knob as compared to a top hat style knob. Some people prefer the larger surface area as it can be easier to grab with a singer finger.

It is personal preference as some feel it is easier and quicker to use a speed knob. All guitar pots have a torque rating and this equates to how much physical force needed to spin the pot. Our Bourns pots (R-VB-500KA-SP) have a low torque and are very easy to spin.

We do not have sizing on the original 1952 potentiometer shafts to verify, but these are designed for use with a standard 1/4" fine knurled shaft pot. Some people have found that very gently crimping the two sections of the split shaft slightly closer together made the knobs fit better. Naturally, if doing this, it is done at one's own risk and we can not assume responsibility for damaged potentiometers.
