Hi All,
I'm the proud owner of the Peavey Rockingham guitar purchased from here the images are available here:
http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/53142/peavey-rockingham-darrel-higham One thing I want to change are the control knobs as I think the nuts are too visible. I purchase a Gretsch style flat knob without the 'G' to test. That doesn't push down far enough and you can still see the nut. I tried a baja telecaster tone knob which fits very well but not the right style in my opinion. I have tried other guitars for dimensions (Gibson, Washburn etc) some fit some don't.
There are some nice abalone telecaster knobs they may not be deep enough. Anybody got any spare tone knobs? I need 4, I think chrome/silver colour to match (but can be tarnished a little to match the bigsby). I am happy to pay of course.
Look forward to suggestions. Happy to try other methods of hiding but has to be non-destructive so I can put the originals should I ever need to.
Cheers folks!

The gap on this design is at least 1cm.
The other thing that the OP might be aware of is that some knobs are metric fit and others are imperial. I'd guess that the Rockingham might have metric pot shafts.
My thoughts exactly and no I don't have that nerve ;-) Any recommendations or if anybody have what they think may suit the Rockingham then let me know, appreciated.

I do appreciate your help here but you are obviously more adept than I at mods. The Baja knobs fit just fine if tightened with screw and the Gretsch style knobs push on fine I bought just one to test. I'm curious which would you go for if you didn't want to modify the post or change height? I just need to check the heights on the ones available.
Would say Googling custom knob makers shows a myriad of options besides the obvious. Seems to be quiet a cottage industry.
