Sorry but the Epi amber knobs just don't do it for me, time for the Gibbo black ones:

Stan gotta agree looks good with the black

[pablopepper]

I do like the amber knobs on certain finishes. They always look a bit out of place on black though.

[stan]

thanks Tony

Pabs, I agree, but only on certain ones, the Gibson gold is a nicer colour to me

Sweet job Stan, it looks amazing and I'm calling bullshit on that "distinct lack of skill" thing;-)
How long have they been putting Grovers on Epis? Never had them on any that I've ever owned.
And just to rock the boat I though the amber knobs looked much better:P

[stan]

thanks Bargey for the kind words, yeah, might get rid of it.
No idea how long Epis have had Grovers for, but they seem pretty nice.

The colour of the amber knobs is quite nice, it's just that they completely clash with every other part of this guitar. Cream that matches the other plastics would have looked good too... but I hear you, there is something about them

I think I'm biased because I had the exact same knobs on the "Blacktop".
Yeah what's up with the different coloured rings and pickguard?
