Westone Knobs

This is for the person who paid $20 for a single reverse taper switchmaster knob on Feebay. I sell them for much less. About $5-6ea. I take a little off if you order a few since I feel bad for charging so much. The only difference is that I do not but the white dot on them. Other than that they are identical. Many have purchased from me and are very satisfied. (USA,UK,France) Just let me know.

Hi, that's very interesting and good to know - I'm sniffing round a geetar at the mo' that needs a couple of knobs replacing, so if I get anywhere with it, I'll know who to call - what would the shipping be for a couple to the UK?

Oh, and do you have any pics, by the way?


Cheers

Check that. Contact me via pm for the other stuff.

Hey TVill, are you up for a listing on our web site's Shop section yet? And, what happened to your experimenting with coloured knobs, anything come of it?

PM me with the details and I'll "make it so".

These knobs by TVill25 are fantastic! Perfect casts - look identical to the real thing with the exception of the little dot.

I'll second that - can't tell them apart from the originals I have other than these look new

Ok this is for those people who really want one of a kind guitar knobs. I need to know what colors are most desirable. I have heard people express interest in blue and red. These will not be cheap since the demand will be much less. I am getting an order together for the pigments needed to do it. There are some fluorescent ones that are available also. You have until Monday then the order goes in.

I just hope people show the money before Tvill makes those colored knobs! We don't want to see Tvill lose out here everyone. How many would actually buy colored knobs? Hopefully you'll all let him know BEFORE he takes the dive. Looking out for the man is all. Nobody on here would screw him, just saying to let him know beforehand.

Personally I think colored knobs would look odd, a novelty at best!

I second Chad's opinion on this. Colors may not be popular, as most would try to keep the aesthetics and keep in line with the originals. The dot can easily be made/added to the knobs supplied by TVill25.

Personal preference, black.

I quite the idea of red knobs on my Spec MX with the red fretboard, but not at any price! Ideas on price??

Ok looks like I can buy a trial kit for coloring the knobs. The price will be a few dollars more each. Is that ok.

Three new knobs just arrived safe & sound in old Blighty & I have to say they're absolutely excellent & the service was top-notch, too!

Thank you very much

No answer, so no interest then?

(So sad when I have to quote myself)

These are so much harder to work with than the all black. My first set of blues turned out basically black. The swirls blue ones happened because of the issues with mixing it. Then I made them lighter blue but they look crystal.



Made some red ones. Well red crystal ones.


I guess I'll keep trying. If and when I figure this out. They will be up for sale. I have red,blue, white, yellow, brown, green, purple. So if you want a specific color ask. I will sell these by a set of three.

Pm me.

PM sent....

The red ones look like a gummy candy

... and they will be mine!!

Get a blue set for me while you are at it please

My wife had a great idea to tint them white then tint them a different color. We'll see if that works tomorrow.

Those swirly black/blue ones. First pic. top right!
Lay my claim...pm sent.

Well she is quite crafty. I tinted the thinner liquid white then tinted it red.



I can try a little less white and more red to get some deeper colors. Now I can make crystal colors and darker ones.

Let me know.

Arrrrrggghhhh... choices!!! I like the crystal ones...

Nice one, they arrived today - look and fit great. Wasn't sure if the screws would be in as well, but are - thanks for that.

Finishing up the colored knobs.



Here are the red ones completed.



Swirly

Love your work.
If Corsair gets a set I'll grab the red ones at the same time.
He can pay for the lot and I'll just fix him up for them.

Work that out with Corsair and have him PM me.

Will do.

I love your work Will
Swirlies are gorgeous!!!

Thank you for the compliment. The ones that have sold were my trial and errors. I guess the beauty lies in the fact the tint and color or swirl will be one of a kind.

Lovely well documented project man. All knobs look very special & cool!

I just love this one - it's like you've been doing experiments on a herd on My Little Ponies...

No animals were hurt in the making of these knobs. (Maybe, although they did provide the glue)

That's my favorite pic too! Great job man.

and they looks like this when they sit on a spectrum...

these look just perfect, outstanding quality! fit right on nice and easy, and rotate perfectly. they came to me each one individually wrapped too! obviously all done with great care. excellent craftsmanship, easily on par with a mats guitar! get yourself some now! you won't be disappointed.

Thanks TVill25!

That high compliment is appreciated.

Thank You

Yep, just as I thought, they look stunning! Better than the brass by far, I love how my finger grips in the taper, my favourite guitar knobs ever.

Black is as boring as batsh1t!!



What you blokes need is a dash of flair and elan...



Nice one, Tvil - very very cool indeed! I shall pass Don's onto him!

Glad to see they made it. Just a little over week, way down under . I'm glad you like them since the crystal color shows everything. I didn't think they could be worse than black but they are.

Pretty tidy... But EMGs again?!?! Stringlocks all present and correct, though...

It's very, um, red.
How would you find yer knob in low light? (That is exactly what she said )

But why stop here Johnny, you now need red switch tips and mounting rings.

corsair wrote:Pretty tidy... But EMGs again?!?! Stringlocks all present and correct, though...

I think you wrote this in the wrong thread.

Yep....

....or, you can have blue ones...



... they don't show up in the pix like they do in person...

Barry wrote:How would you find yer knob in low light?

.... you mean you look to see where it is? I just use my little finger and "Wow! There it is!!"

But why stop here Johnny, you now need red switch tips and mounting rings.

Yeah; a nice switch tip would be cool, but the pup rings are OK in black!

The red knobs still look like gum drops to me, but the blue ones are intriguing, eh?

Any interest in THESE?
Or THESE?

Hi gang...I'm not even sure if I'm on the correct channel (or page). I need some Westone knobs, and I JUST noticed one of our Forum members is able to cast them (from last month). Looks like he is doing a great job too. I need a set of all three...3 black knobs...3 blue knobs...and 3 red knobs. How much $...who do I contact...and how do I order. Please forgive, if this message is in the wrong category. My computer skills are below grade because I still spend too much time on the fretboard. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks...rebuild.

TVill25 is your man. Contact him HERE

Do you still have the Switchmaster knobs for Westone guitars?

TVill25,
What colors do you have available?
I am restoring a dynasty and I painted it with color shift from blue to purple with a white stripe.
I was thinking maybe white, blue or purple...

Thank you,
Rick
