Yellowy old knobs wanted...

Post by Molly »

For my Strat project. I've got a couple but they're not genuine Fender and you can tell. They just look a bit cheap with crappy numbering etc.

White, parchment or aged will do.

I DIY’d them with soil and coffee. Added some nicotine-type staining with a luminous highlighter and some fine sandpaper.

Cheers to chur for giving me his knobs and tip. I've manipulated them somewhat and they're now nice and grubby. Nice firm fit too. :thumbup:
