Best telecaster dome knobs?

Lebarque · April 2018

I need some premium, heavy-knurled knobs. I seem to remember a small British company making them, but can't remember the name...

Yup, that's me! (I don't make them but I have them made to my specs)
I have flat top too

Thanks @gavin_axecaster . Blimey, they look maybe too knurked for me! Hmmm

There was another UK company who actually make high quality tele hardware. Anybody know it?

Was it Hailwood ?

They look German, @DrBob ;

DrBob · April 2018

You’re right, upon further investigation they do. I do recall the company you mean but the name escapes me which is annoying

Love the Callaham knobs, they have a great knurl and are the just the best quality.

I've got some lovely Axecaster knobbies on my tele, i'd recommend them!

@DrBob I think it might have been these guys. Can't see any Tele knobs on there though.

@Graingerguitars ; Do you make knurled telecaster dome knobs?

Lebarque · April 2018

Axecaster and Callaham look great, guys. Cheers

Callaham £43 for a pair!

Hi @Lebarque, we don't make tele domed knobs as standard....our standard poti knobs have two bands of straight knurl but are domed, available in both 6mm and 1/4" bores. A link is here ~

That said it would be simple enough to run a batch of a fully diamond knurled knob to the tele-specs, I'm currently talking to another electrical parts supplier about producing tele knobs in decent batch size so they may appear in our range yet! :-)

Yep, worlds apart from the £4.95 pair. You asked for premium. The Callaham's are machined to perfection, the end finish is like a mirror. I've bought more expensive ones.

I wish someone would make unplated brass knobs like those by Armadillo or KGC - lovely as the products of those US manufacturers are, they cost a fortune once shipping and taxes are included.

I'd like reasonably priced nickel plated aluminium with a heavy knurl (to reduce the weight). I paid a premium for a lighter body for my partscaster then paid more again for those heavy callahams! They look great though.
