Up for grabs is a set of THREE (3 individual knobs) used kind of relic'ed genuine Gibson GOLD SPEED KNOBS (ONLY 3 of the 4 knobs from PRSK-020 set are for sale). From 1990s.
Sorry I don't have the matching 4th Gold Speed knob.
These knobs came off of a used 1993 Gibson Les Paul Studio (gloss finish). Guitar NOT included / NO other parts included.
Since these are older Gibson Speed Knobs --- the under-side of the knobs look different compared to Gibson knobs made in recent years and Gibson knobs that are currently makes.
One the UNDER-SIDE of the knobs for sale in this listing:
- 1) You can see & feel the imprint of the numbers & dashes. as seen in pictures # 2, #3, and pictures # 19 to # 24.
- 2) For the center area -- the circular plastic piece that goes around the hole with the ridges is thicker / wider, higher, and has a flat thick top.
- SEE comparison pictures # 2, # 3, and # 4
Whereas: the UNDER-SIDE of Gibson knobs made in recent years and that are currently made (NOT for sale in this listing):
- 1) Are smooth (NO visible imprint) as seen in pictures # 3 and # 4
- 2) For the center area -- the circular plastic piece that goes around the hole with the ridges is tapered, is narrow, is shorter / lower, and has a thin top.
- SEE comparison pictures. # 2, # 3, and # 4
NOTE: The part / model number PRSK-020 and UPC# 711106550688 are provided as a reference for the style color knobs they are.
These genuine Gibson Control Knobs [SPEED Knob Style] are Gold with White Numbers & Dashes.
NO reflectors / NO Letter Print
Made in the USA
These knobs fit on a split shaft stem that has fine vertical grooves / ridges / splines. The last picture shows this kind of stem (the pot is shown for example only - it is NOT included). As you can see -- I mean a stem / shaft that is NOT smooth and that does NOT get held on the the stem with a screw). It can fit a long stem or short stem shaft. The last pictures shows a shows a pot with a short stem shaft (again - the pot is shown for example only - it is NOT included).
** This listing is for what is seen in the pictures and what is described in my description.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Since these are pre-owned (used) knobs - they might be a little loose on the shaft of your controls. If this is the case - instead of you gently separating the two metal pieces of the split shaft:
- I would highly recommend that you put a piece of tape or a piece of thin paprt around the shaft of your controls -- so that the knobs will have something else (aside from the metal pieces of the shaft) to grip on to.
- I say this because if you separate the two metal pieces of the split shaft -- there is a great chance that one of the metal pieces (ot even both) will break off. I know this for personal experience.
- Therefore it's better to play it safe and to add the piece of tape or piec eof paper around the shaft.

NOTE: Please message me if you just need one individual new knob or two individual knobs.

CONDITION of the knobs for sale in the listing that you are looking at now -
Here are the imperfections that these knobs have:
KNOB 1) : Pictures # 10, # 11, and # 12. Pictures # 19 and # 22.
- The inner area of one of the knobs has visible imperfections: about two short cracks / breaks and a few very small & small chips. Since these are INTERNAL IMPERFECTIONS - you cannot feel them. You only see them when looking at the top side of the knob.
- Under-side is mostly fine - a few minor nicks / minor scratches in - on the gold finish.
- Outer Bottom Edge - The areas between the # 0 and the # 10 has a little flattening. I'm not sure if this was caused by use & handling -- or if it is from how the knob was manufactured.
KNOB 2): Pictures # 13, # 14, and # 15. Picture # 20 and # 23
- The inner area of one of the knobs has visible imperfections: about two or three short cracks / breaks and a few very small & small chips. Since these are INTERNAL IMPERFECTIONS - you cannot feel them. .
- Under-side: There is a visible small chip in the plastic on / near where the # 6 is (you can see it and you can feel it). And it has a few minor nicks / minor scratches in - on the gold finish.
- Outer Bottom Edge - A very small area between the # 0 and the # 10 has a little flattening. I'm not sure if this was caused by use & handling -- or if it is from how the knob was manufactured.
KNOB 3) Pictures # 16, # 17, and # 18. Pictures # 21 and # 24.
- It is mostly fine. Internally it is a few extremely tiny nicks that you can see when looking at the top side of the knob.
- Under-side is mostly fine - a few minor nicks / minor scratches in - on the gold finish.
- Outer Bottom Edge - The areas between the # 0 and the # 10 has a little flattening. I'm not sure if this was caused by use & handling -- or if it is from how the knob was manufactured.
You can see the condition of these knobs in the pictures. Feel free to ask for more pictures of this item (especially close-up pics of the knobs).
NOTE: There may be a a couple of imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures. There may be a few minor imperfections that I overlooked. And - there maybe some imperfections show up in the pictures that are not that visible in person (like glares and dust specks).
As mentioned above- I do not mind breaking the set if you need a certain amount of knobs.
