Durable and stylish
I've had these on my gigging guitar for six months now. No scratches, no loosening, and they still look brand new. Worth every penny.

Great look, tight fit
Love the aesthetic on my bass guitar. They were a bit tight to push on initially, but once seated, they are rock solid. Just make sure you measure your pot shafts first.

Perfect fit for my Strat upgrade
These Gotoh knobs are exactly what I needed. The metal construction feels premium compared to the stock plastic ones. They fit snugly on my 19mm pots without any wobble.

High quality Japanese craftsmanship
You can really tell these are made in Japan. The finish is flawless and the knurling provides excellent grip for volume swells. Highly recommended for any serious player.

Good value for metal knobs
Solid construction and they match my bridge hardware perfectly. Took off one star only because the package didn't include extra set screws, though the friction fit works well enough.

Instant upgrade
Swapped these onto my Telecaster and it instantly looked more professional. The weight adds a nice subtle balance change too. Will buy again for my other guitars.
Q: How many knobs are included in one package?
A: Each package contains a set of 4 knob caps, which is sufficient for a standard electric guitar with one volume and three tone controls, or two volume and two tone.
Q: Can these be used on acoustic-electric guitars?
A: Absolutely, as long as your acoustic-electric guitar uses standard split-shaft potentiometers with 18mm or 19mm diameters, these knobs will work perfectly.
Q: Is the black finish prone to chipping over time?
A: The finish is a durable anodized coating. While no finish is completely indestructible, normal playing conditions should not cause chipping under regular use.
Q: Do these come with set screws or are they push-on only?
A: These are primarily designed as push-on knobs with a tight friction fit. They do not typically utilize set screws, relying on the internal splines for stability.
Q: Will these fit on CTS potentiometers commonly found in US guitars?
A: Yes, the VK1-18/19 model is designed to fit both 18mm (common in import guitars) and 19mm (common in US-made CTS pots) shafts securely.
