Gibson Top Hat Knobs - Gold 4-Pack

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Four gold top hat knobs, enough for a two-pickup guitar with volume and tone per pickup. A cosmetic swap, not a performance one.

Product studyGibson Top Hat Knobs - Gold 4-Pack

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing all four knobs on a two-pickup guitar at once
  • Matching knobs to gold pickup covers and hardware
  • Swapping out cracked, faded or mismatched knobs

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Guitars with one or two controls, where you'd pay for four
  • Imports with metric pot shafts that Gibson-spec knobs may not seat on
  • Anyone expecting a change in how the guitar sounds

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

4-pack

Covers two volumes and two tones, the standard control layout on a two-humbucker guitar.

Detail 02

Top hat shape

Tall and tapered, so it's easier to catch and turn mid-song than a low flat knob.

Detail 03

Gold finish

Gold shows finger oils and wear sooner than black or chrome, especially on a knob you ride constantly.

Detail 04

Gibson-spec fit

Sized for Gibson-style pot shafts. Other brands and imports often use a different shaft diameter or spline count.

Detail 05

Knobs only

No pots or wiring. These replace what sits on top of the controls already in the guitar.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check whether your pots have split knurled shafts or solid shafts before ordering
  2. 02Imported guitars often use metric pots, where these can sit loose
  3. 03Lift old knobs straight up with padding underneath to avoid chipping the finish

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will these fit my import guitar?

Not reliably. Many imported guitars use metric pot shafts, which differ in diameter from Gibson-spec. Check your shafts first, or plan on changing pots as well.

02How many knobs does my guitar need?

A two-pickup guitar with a volume and a tone per pickup takes four, which is exactly what this pack covers.

03Do these come with pots?

No. Knobs only. The pots, switch and wiring already in your guitar stay as they are.

04How do I remove the old knobs?

Work them straight up, evenly on both sides, with a cloth under whatever you lever with to protect the top. Don't twist or yank one side.
