The knobs feature vintage-correct embossed numbers and long shafts that let the knobs set above the body of the guitar just like the original Les Pauls from 1959, the knobs are lightly aged with just a touch of greening, not overly done, dirty or sticky. Compare our knobs with new Gibson top hats and the originals from the 50s and you'll see that our knobs are much closer to the originals.
