On the hunt for black witch hat knobs

[Timko]

I'm finally starting to search for the last cosmetic modification I'm making to my J.Marr Jaguar.  I plan to switch out the standard Jaguar knobs for some black witch hat knobs.  However, I'm not finding exactly what I'm looking for.  I've post this same question in some other guitar forums, but I figure as pedal builders, our community has seen WAY more knob companies and variety.

Here are the cream witch hat knobs from Fender:


I'm basically looking for them in black.  The 2 things that are making these impossible to match are
* Set screw for solid shafted pots
* Numbers facing outward

These are the closest I've found, but they have the numbers facing inward.  FYI, they're the same knobs on a Tele '72.


These are probably the ones I'm going to end up with, but if anyone has seen black ones like the cream ones above, I would love to pick them up.

Banzaimusic has some, but it might not be convenient for you. End of the page here: https://www.banzaimusic.com/Instrument-knobs/

Pretty sure those are push on, not set pin like he was looking for. Its a frustrating thing.

So it appears they may exist. Hereis what is said about those:
"Gretsch Model 6361, "second model" This is the most common of the model 6361 "second model" variation. It was produced with either silver or gold tops.. Used from mid-1978 until 1980. Note the "square 9" on this knob and how it differs from the "soft 9" of the previous models. Again, made for Gretsch by Rogan Brothers but very similar in design to the Fender amp knobs of the day."

Unfortunately they are push on, not set screw.

Those are exactly what I'm looking for. Good to know that if I search enough maybe I can stumble onto some!

CE Distribution has them. If you don't have an account it is a little harder to get one now a days. I have an account and could order them for you when I place an order (next week).

Looks like they are $1.35 each.

That's the closest I've found.  The numbers are meant to be read right side up (like an amp) instead of upside down (like you're wearing a guitar) though.  but I figured that was the concession I was going to have to make.

Never mind, I see what you're saying now.

I'd buy the split shaft pots before I'd compromise on the orientation of the numbers ... OCD

Muddy waters used same ones, I set up my tele with same black knobs to pay homage. Those are actually fender amp knobs, they're a perfect fit for the pots. Cheers
