Ernie Ball Telecaster knobs

[TheBassGuy]

On the Ernie Ball site i found Telecaster knobs. I'm wondering how those knobs look for real. I can only find the drawn picture thats on the site. I want see the EB knobs before i might buy other ones that will look crap on my MM. Can someone post a pic of there EB chrome knobs? (the ones on the site)

Thanks in advance!

I'm surpried they're allowed to call them that. Can't find any pics of the EBMM variety but they probably look much the same as these

I love these knobs, they are the best. The ones you see came from EBMM. Are you changing out the Strat style knobs?

To fit them on a split shaft pot, you will have to fit some kind of spacer in the split for them to work properly. I bought a super fancy Tele knob for my sunburst Axis and it came with a special spacer.

You can sort of see the knob in this pic:

It has a tortoise shell insert in the top and looks very nice indeed.

Tim or you can just change the pots to a solid shaft.

I really like the look and feel of them, highly recommend them man.

I've got 'em on all of my balls. No problem with the split shafts- just aim the set screw at the split in the shaft. Or yeah, you can stuff a bit of toothpick in there.

What model do you want to see them on?

The Albert, Silo and ASS come standard with the tele style dome knobs if they have piezo - (i.e. 3 knobs instead of two), Lukes and Morses have dome knobs also. There are plenty of photos around, pick a model and maybe we can narrow it down for you.

Aw man, stop it. I've always loved the strat knobs on my AL, and now you're making me question them.

 

[GWDavis28]

Jon put the Strat sytle knobs in my case and they are still there. But I tell you my Axis Sport, AL, 20th and DD Luke have them on them and I really like them a lot. Plus I think they just look a lot more classy.

Kungfu man, do it!!

Yup, I'm gonna change the pickguard and also the knobs of my Sub1 (black). I'm still trying to figure out what looks better though. Black pearl (or ice) with black knobs or White pearl (or ice ) with chrome knobs.

@mbgreene: Silhouette's or Sub's. And if its possible, with an "Ice" or black pickguard. Thanks!

Wow...does it ever happen to anyone that they unsuspectingly scroll down, see a pic and can hardly stop themselves from jumping up and down and shouting "WANT! WANT! WANT!"?

You WANT mean like the one WANT in your WANT avatar?

Thanks for the replays! It seems that those EB knobs are fatter (in diameter) than the regular Telecaster dome knobs. Can someone measure the size in diameter, just to be sure. Getting those EB knobs will cost be a lot more since they have to come from the states (there not for sale here ).

This is a "dome" knob i can order here in the Netherlands:

Looks smaller in diameter...
