Members Terry Allan Hall Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Finally installed a volume and a tone control on the "Poorman's EM-150"...the only colored knobs I had in my parts box were off-white...leave 'em as is or get black knobs?

Members Opa John Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Black..to match the headstock and pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted March 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Black..to match the headstock and pickup. That's what I was thinking, too..although Freeman's suggestion bears consideration, as well, as the original Gibson EM-150s often had amber knobs. This one was changed, I'd bet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Samilyn Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 Be careful with amber - might clash with the gold tones in the burst. I think black ones would look classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grant Harding Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'd go for black, but not with the white numbering if such a thing exists. If you already have the off-white ones you may be able to soak them in really strong tea to make them more amber too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larry50 Posted March 15, 2012 Members Share Posted March 15, 2012 I like it the way it is. Gives the mando personality. Black? meh ..... just like all the rest. Amber should be reserved for Les Pauls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
