These knob sets are the new "Soft Touch" Strat knob sets,
they have the rubberized knurling around the gripping splines. These knobs were
introduced in 2016 on the American Elite Strat. The knob sets are only available in Aged White.
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.

lettering and numbering replaced with your
