Epiphone new/vintage knob
« on: October 01, 2023, 05:30:22 AM »
When I bought my first Epiphone Embassy, from the ´60s, it was, in every sence of the word, in excellent condition. But.... one thing was missing. The three original knobs. One for bass/treble, two for the pickup's volume. Well, in those days it was possible to find stuff at the Ebay, at good prices. So one day i found three knobs for the Embassy. Though only one for volume. Instead I got two for bass/treble. I thought it would have to do. Which it did!

But now, a quarter of a life later, I realize the Embassy would look way cooler with two controls for volume. Right? And, as I'm a lucky guy, it turns out that Epiphone's new series of Embassy's got the same knobs as the sixties ones. So a solution seeme, for a while, to be in reach. But they aren't.  Can't find the knobs, as an unhappy guy once said.

Is there anybody out there in bassland who knows where to get the knobs, but at a price level that's not ridiculous? They look exactly like this: https://reverb.com/item/50559214-vintage-reissue-epiphone-knobs-newport-olympic-wilshire-crestwood-coronet-embassy-deluxe

I  wonder if Scott (godofthunder) could get you some? He works part time at House of Guitars in Rochester, New York. I believe they have a large in-house parts and repair department. You might want to send him a private message  or friend him on Facebook.
