Color-matching Cream Parts and Bindings
There have always been slight variations in the color of the cream plastic parts used on Gibson and other guitars. It's not uncommon to see brand new and vintage guitars with bindings, pickup rings, toggle switch rings and pickguards that don't perfectly match in color. We do our best to match all our cream products, but there's no absolute control from batch to batch, or from supplier to supplier.

Knobs

I've used StewMac replacement knobs for five of my antique instruments. Two old Martins, a Gibson, an old Kay mandolin and even a 130-year-old Czech harp guitar. All of them need customizing of the hole (various drill sizes), and I read from one luthier that heating the buttons in near-boiling water softens the plastic so it won't crack. Pressing it together in my vise solves the problem with no glue needed.

cream tuner buttons!

Having used the white tuner buttons to overhaul Kluson tuners in the past, I decided to try the cream buttons for a 'vintage' look. I was a bit dissapointed in that the shaft seems to 'show-through' the buttons. It seems that the cream buttons are more translucent than the white ones. Just an observation! Rod

Ivoroid Pegs

Just right for my 1900 Windsor Artiste zither banjo which is under restoration. Needed some minor modification to fit, but exactly the right size and 'feel'. Fast international shipping as usual. Most satisfied, thanks!

Perfect fix for crumbly 50s tuner buttons

These took more effort to push on than I expected. I heated the shaft and pushed them on, but I wish I had taken the tuners off the guitar and used a clamp or press to push them on. They work great though and look perfect!

Wrong size but generous treatment

These knobs were sent as replacements when some of my Sloane Waverly tuner knobs failed. They were the wrong size. I complained and a set of brand new tuners free of charge was sent instead. Outstanding service.

Excellent upgrade

I recently changed out the buttons on Grover Sta- Tite tuners with the switch from metal to ebony giving a great custom look . These buttons are finely crafted and polished.

Vintage Style Tuner Knobs

I did not know that I could get replacement tuner knobs, and thought I would have to purchase the whole tuner sets. I was very pleased with the replacement knobs that worked a treat. Thank you.

Ivoroid Buttons

I've purchased these buttons as well as the Ebony ones'. They have enhanced the look of the headstock remarkably..! I've used them on Strat & Tele Kluson style tuners as well. They can be a little tricky putting them on the shafts, but w/ a little prep & medium viscosity Superglue, they hold very well. An alternative to Waverly tuners at a fraction of the cost...
