The speed knob was first introduced on Gibson® hollowbody guitars in the late 1940s. Designed with a smooth, rounded profile that made quick volume and tone adjustments effortless. Its chunky feel and straightforward design gave players a tactile connection to their instrument. Over time, the speed knob became a familiar sight on many Gibson® models, earning a lasting spot in guitar history for both it's functionality and vintage charm.

 

Embossed guitar knobs are a step up in quality from stamped versions. This method is a nod to traditional craftsmanship of earlier production methods. By pressing the numbering directly into the material, it ensures a clean, crisp imprint every single time while giving the numbers a distinctive, three-dimensional look.

 

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is a durable, organic bio-plastic derived from renewable sources such as wood pulp and cotton. The very same plastic used on original, historic guitar models from the golden era; giving parts made from CAB not only a vintage look, but also the authentic feel and aging characteristics players expect. Unlike modern synthetic plastics, CAB develops a warm patina over time, making it the choice for restorations or for anyone seeking that period correct touch.
