GibsonTop Hat Knobs - Gold 4-Pack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four gold top hat knobs, enough for a two-pickup guitar with volume and tone per pickup. A cosmetic swap, not a performance one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing all four knobs on a two-pickup guitar at once
- Matching knobs to gold pickup covers and hardware
- Swapping out cracked, faded or mismatched knobs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars with one or two controls, where you'd pay for four
- Imports with metric pot shafts that Gibson-spec knobs may not seat on
- Anyone expecting a change in how the guitar sounds
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Top hat shape
Tall and tapered, so it's easier to catch and turn mid-song than a low flat knob.
Detail 03
Gold finish
Gold shows finger oils and wear sooner than black or chrome, especially on a knob you ride constantly.
Detail 04
Gibson-spec fit
Sized for Gibson-style pot shafts. Other brands and imports often use a different shaft diameter or spline count.
Detail 05
Knobs only
No pots or wiring. These replace what sits on top of the controls already in the guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your pots have split knurled shafts or solid shafts before ordering
- 02Imported guitars often use metric pots, where these can sit loose
- 03Lift old knobs straight up with padding underneath to avoid chipping the finish
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my import guitar?
Not reliably. Many imported guitars use metric pot shafts, which differ in diameter from Gibson-spec. Check your shafts first, or plan on changing pots as well.
02How many knobs does my guitar need?
A two-pickup guitar with a volume and a tone per pickup takes four, which is exactly what this pack covers.
03Do these come with pots?
No. Knobs only. The pots, switch and wiring already in your guitar stay as they are.
04How do I remove the old knobs?
Work them straight up, evenly on both sides, with a cloth under whatever you lever with to protect the top. Don't twist or yank one side.
