LP aesthetic counsel requested

[Shotgun]

I wanted speed knobs, so I put speed knobs on.

But now that I'm sure that I'm keeping it, I'm thinking maybe witch or top hats.

Forget function, we're just talking about what YOU think LOOKS better.

Speed knobs as my first choice, then the regular tophats/bell knobs.

'k, what color top hats? Black or gold?

Plain plain tops, or metal inserts?

No matter which knobs you get, get the Black ones. The Gold one just stand out too much.

I like black, gold and amber, but I think I'd go black on that guitar. And I've never really cared too much for the ones with inserts, but if I were to go with inserts, the ones with chrome.

do they make cream/white speed knobs? Just trying to help!

[Shotgun]

Not that I know of. Black speed knobs came on it (along with black pickup rings, and black pickguard, black switchplate... you get the idea) and it all just blended in.



So black top hats with silver inserts would stand out better than either just black speeds or black top hats, and I want them to not blend in.

Maybe pink? Dave? Dave?!??

now that's Komedy with a capiltal "K"!!! :ROTF:

This is kinda what I was going for with the gold:



But dang, I can't tell - are those top hats? Any Standard owners in the house?

[Budman68]

That one actually looks good with the gold because the binding "frames" it all. In all honesty, I like the black in your case because it blends better, IMHO of course!

... because the binding "frames" it all.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the binding is on its way. :ROTF:

Seriously, though. I'm going to bind the body.

well that, my friend, is a horse of a different color, gold it is!!

Amazing what a difference in appearance a couple of bucks worth of binding makes, isn't it?
