These knob sets are hand customized in our shop. The
featured knob set is what we call the Vintage '62 style that has the dark green
letters and numbers. We also offer a number of alternate letter and number
colors to appeal to the most unique Strat® color themes.
With old or vintage
knobs from many years ago this green coloration of the letters and
numbers is the result of natural aging or oxidation effect
of the
original gold coloring that would change color
with age, the gold would patina naturally to a
dark green color. However, the gold lettering in
modern production knobs will no longer naturally
oxidize to this green color with time, the gold
lettering will stay gold forever. Our
reproductions offered here are a simulation of
the natural oxidation effect of the old or
vintage knobs.
When we customize these knob
sets with the dark green color it interacts with the original gold
coloring in the letters and numbers and turns the green a bit darker for
a very close approximation of how the gold would normally turn over many
years of oxidation to the dark green almost black color and some
portions of the letters and numbers may still show some of the original
gold which is exactly what would happen when the letters and numbers
would have naturally turned dark green over time, so it is a rather cool
and natural effect that we feel very good about how they turn out.
Each of these knob sets are
Brand New, Current
Production Genuine Fender® volume and
tone knobs that have the original color
lettering and numbering replaced with your
choice of colors. Give us
