Gibson® first introduced the top hat control knob in the mid 1950s, featuring black or gold skirted designs with numbers around the base. Around 1960, a flat metal disc was inset into the top, catching and reflecting light, earning it the nickname “reflector knob”.
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.
Norlin® is the historic brand you’ve trusted since 1969. Specializing in replacement guitar parts to repair and refurbish vintage classics. Ushering in a new Norlin® era.
