Members CoqBelliqueux Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 I have speed knobs on mine but I'm not sure I like them. The other one is not super either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MONGOOZ Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 in your particular instance....i'd go with the speed knobs....i think they look better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted July 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 are these Top Hats or Witch Hats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strung_Out Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Out of those two choices I'd say speed knobs for sure; but I think top hats would look better than both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhorne Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 I like the witch hats like the 70s Les Paul Customs had. Those are top hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted July 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Those are top hats Ok,thanks! I think I still like witch hats better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Orange Jackson Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Top or witch. The speeds just don't look right to me on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 I voted speed - but I usually like top hats without the metal on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pixelchemist Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 i think speed knobs are ugly... hats all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scottgd Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Whatever you decide put some covers on those pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Toanz is in the knobs. I vote also for tops w/o metal top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kap'n Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Speeds look nice on goldtops or archtops. As previously mentioned, I like the look of top hats without top inserts. Witch hats just remind me of an ugly part of the 70's. They're like fender amp knobs gone bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Any kind of hats...nearly always...there are some rare exceptions where speed knobs do look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catalinagooseV2 Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Speed knobs are easier for me to use for some reason. Maybe because they are bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted July 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 Whatever you decide put some covers on those pickups. I don't think I can put a cover on the Super II. So I think I will leave the Air Norton open too. Anyway I like how it looks and its different than my other guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slave2TheAudio Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 For this guitar, definitely speed knobs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted July 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 For this guitar, definitely speed knobs! The only thing is,I bought this guitar because I wanted a guitar that looked like the Les Paul Custom that I saw on an episode "Pawn Stars" on The History Channel.That guitar is a '74 LPC with witch hats. Below is my copy next to the real thing. Now I just need a white switch tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~GOD~ Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 i prefer playing with speed knobs on any guitar. they're easier to manipulate and don't get stuck or gummed up as easily, and are about a thousand times easier to take off. i think top hats look better on a few guitars, but not op's black lp.
