Frequently asked questions
Will either knob fit my guitar or bass?
Yes. Both fit standard 6mm potentiometer shafts found in EMG pickup systems and aftermarket electronics. The black satin knob explicitly supports both split-shaft and solid-shaft designs, making it slightly more universal.
How do I install these knobs?
Both use a simple set-screw mechanism that secures firmly to the pot shaft without any instrument modifications. Installation is straightforward for beginners and professionals alike.
Which finish shows wear less over time?
The black satin matte finish resists fingerprints and gloss wear better than polished chrome. Chrome may show tarnishing over years, though it resists it better than untreated metal.
Are these drop-in replacements for worn knobs?
Yes, both serve as direct replacements for damaged or worn knobs on existing EMG electronics or aftermarket 6mm pot systems.
