Speed Knob


Read 32 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Speed knobs are named for their beefy, fumble-free shape—easy to wrap a pinkie around. Sometimes called "hatbox" knobs, they're found on many Gibson guitars.

Choose knobs to press-fit onto fine (CTS) or coarse (Alpha) knurled control pot shafts. Sold individually.

Check your control pot shafts before you order!

Almost all press-on knobs that fit coarse-knurled 18-spline pot shafts (such as Alpha) won't fit fine-knurled 24-spline shafts (such as CTS), and vice versa.

Perfect fit

Replaced the "hat" style knobs on my Les Paul and they were a perfect fit and looked factory. Used Stew Mac knob removal tool to remove old knobs. Total change over time less than 10 minutes. Thanks Stew Mac.

Can't go wrong with these

Perfect fit, well made. The black ones seem to scratch more noticeably.

Top quality knobs

Nice, high quality knobs. Sometimes it's a tight fit getting these all the way onto the pot shaft. To minimize the required push force, I soak the knob in HOT water for two minutes, then quickly push it onto the pot shaft. It makes installation much easier. To remove stubborn knobs, I apply heat directly to the knob with a hair dryer for 2 minutes, placing cardboard under the knob to protect the guitar finish. Pulls right off easily.

Knob upgrade

These knobs were a great upgrade for a kit build i did. They immediately stood out in amber on the two tone sunburst, and are a cheap way to improve any look over stock knobs. Perfect fit, not too tight but easy to remove if needed.

They work

Clearly marked course or fine knurled so you get the correct ones. If you're buying these for pots your purchased here, then get the course knurl knobs for proper pot fit.
