SET OF 4 HAND AGED TOP HAT REFLECTOR KNOBS GOLD/SILVER
Top Hat Reflector knobs were used from mid-1960 to mid-1970s. They have a metal cap with "Volume" or "Tone" printed in black on the cap. There are two styles of this knob. First was used from mid-1960 to the end of 1961, and have a shallow post hole (as viewed from the side). The 1962 and later relector knob has a deeper post hole (the bottom of the post hole comes much closer to the metal cap). Also the reflector on these knobs can be silver or gold. Guitars with nickel or chrome hardware should have silver caps. Guitars with gold hardware should have gold caps (though often the gold does wear off).
59 Parts Reflector knobs are meant to keep the spirit of the 60's and 70's Gibson knobs. Each knob is hand aged and has a unique look. They look incredibly well and will give a 50's vintage look to your guitar.
