Proper knobs for my 7PBK?

ryank · #1 08-12-2007, 11:22 PM

For whatever reason, my PBK has black volume, tone, and selector knobs. Anyone have any idea where I can get the proper white ones?

I'd just get some Fender ones and call it a day, but those ones are... too white. For anyone who has a white UV, you know what I'm talking about. The pickguard is true white while the rest of it is off-white. It's not cream either because cream is really too yellow.

Thanks in advance:

I think the reason they're off white because they're faded from the ages. I think the normal fender ones will eventually fade too.

I agree, but I'm thinking my white UV's pickguard should have faded too (which it didn't... there is an obvious contrast between the pickguard and the pickups/knobs/body).

Hmm. Actually, I see what you mean too. I have my 15 year old strat here, and the knobs are extremely white, while the pickguard is fading. Wierd.

I love PBK's!! They almost play themselves

Have you tried www.allparts.com or www.grguitars.com ??

Or actually I think I have just what you need laying around here

I love those PBKs. I would love to have one as an evil twin for my UV7PWH. I think the white knobs are nice too. I have some spare ones I bought (Fender) and I also have a set of black ones too. I am using them for my arctic white RG 7620 custom.

Will these do?? They are just taking up space here

:-D Any chance you have the switch knob too? :-D

JJEMMER777 · #9 08-13-2007, 12:41 AM

Yeah, it's laying around here somewhere. Hopefully I can find it

Damn Straight

It's what Jemsite is all about!! FAMILY!!!!

Thanks for your kind words Brian

Ryan...the switch tip is definitely more faded than the knobs. I've been diggin through the storage drawers and found a "not so faded" white tip if you'd prefer it

Just lemmie know!

Bah. They have gold lettering! Can't you get white with black numbers/lettering?

Fender knobs come in three versions of white: white, aged white, and parchment. Take a look at those and see if one of them matches (though Jim already hooked you up).
