riffster Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I visited zachary guitars. I do not whole heartedly agree with his philosophy however interesting it is, but he has knobs on this guitar that I have never seen before. They are Here. Does anyone know where I could find them? I like the two horizontal lines on them and the fact that it does not look metallic. I shot him an email, but as expected, I received no response. Has anyone seen these?

If I was to make knobs like that I'd do them in ebony - make up a stack with a rosewood slice and then chuck up that blank in a drill press and sand them circular. Or a lathe would be the simplest way to do that, but I don't have a lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffster Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 looking at them closer they must be metal. They have got those diamond channels running down the sides for grip. That would be hard to do with wood with that type of precision. Some place has to supply these. Just can't find em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffster Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Wow! Thanks soooo much! I scoured the net for probably three hours and looked at eBay for about half that time. I really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhollowman Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry for hijacking, but are those ebony neck screw ferrules on that Zachary in the link?? DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffster Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, that would be my best guess, the ebony ferrules. But, when I checked out ebay agian yesterday those knobs that I checked out were used. The knobs are gone today at the sellers store. I have checked our suppliers page and people seem to carry every knob but the one that I am looking for. Does anybody know of a site that has these knobs? The black knob w/ the dot. I am obsessive, I need to find this. Can anybody else help? I probably looked on the net today for two more hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGGOTBRAIN Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry for the bum lead on those knobs.,.I know ive seen those on ebay.,.I just cant remember the name of the store.

riffster Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hey Jack, its ok. At first glance I thought they were new. I did find them at musiciansfriend. The store on ebay that I visited that you found is called guitar crisis. They don't have the knobs there today, but I'm sure some would be there tomorrow. Thanks for trying to find a place though, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 You could always find a black dome knob and add a white dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffster Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah I could add a white dot, but what I like about the knob that I was looking for was that it was a black metal knob that had much less of a gloss over the top of the knob, so IMO it would better compliment a more classy instrument. I don't want everything to look extra shiny. I know I am a geek or maybe a bit picky, but my options are open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
