I picked up these knobs thinking they would be a cheap alternative to the official Gibson knobs. They were cheap alright. I put them on my Les Paul and they only went down about half way. I pressed down harder and eventually got them down to the body but when I turned one of my tone knobs, it was bent. I realized that another one was bent as well. I tried to take the knob off to return them and they wouldnt come off. I tried using my nails but they wouldnt budge. I resorted to getting a screw driver to wedge it out and the knob just broke. Now I cannot return this knob because its broke and im out 10 bucks. I cannot recommend these to anyone and I suggest you pay the extra for real Gibson knobs.

I recently purchased a set of these knobs and I was very dissapointed with the quality. I suppose I should have done a bit more homework before buying them. I put them on my American Std Strat for a 'new look'. They were difficult to get on and even more difficult to pull off. I foolishly put one on with the numbers in the wrong direction (my bad). Unfortunately there seemed no way to 'gently' pull it back off. But, I didn't feel that they should crack (in two places). The outer edge of the 'bell' is too thin and made of very cheap plastic. These are *not* a 'solid acrylic' material. Check these out real good before deciding on them. I personally do not reccomend them, esp for any 'nice custom' project. Go with genuine replacement parts. I learned my lesson. :/
