Anyone know where to locate speed knobs like these with the little rubber ring on them? Not available thru Allparts, WD or Stew-Mac.

Aaah if you find some let me know. Where did you get yours from?


Forum member Taller gave me 3 old Ibanez Iceman knobs, which had the rubber ring around it. If you removed the rubber ring then put it on the PRS knob it fit fine. Unfortunately one of mine has since broken and I'd like to get a few more to put on all my guitars.

I was thinking on looking for some sort of rubber "belt" from an electronics store or something.

It was on the guitar when I bought it and I really like it. I want to put some on a couple other guitars if I can find em.

Jo and Stink,

I'm going to call Ibanez tomorrow and see if I can get some of these knobs. Last I heard they were still available from their parts dept.

I'll let you know the results tomorrow.

Don't know if these sleeves are detachable or not...

Might work

TimGreat Tim... while you're at it can you find out whether the rubber ring is removable so they could be put on gold knobs.

Also, will these knobs fit on a PRS?

1) Do those things fit PRS's?

2) Does anyone know if the pricing is for a single knob or a set?

They look like a great mod - I sometimes have to flip from position 1 to position 5 on my 5-way rotary in a hurry... I've never 'missed', but I ALWAYS think i do --lol-

I presume the pricing is for a set ... otherwise why would they show four of them eh?

At least that's what I'm trying to fool myself in thinking.. I'd hate to think it was $10 a knob. :o

I went to a Peavey dealer yesterday, the price is per knob (!). But that is the list price, they can be discounted of course. I ordered a couple, so when I get them I will see how they work...

Jo and Stink,

The rubber gripped knobs are available from Ibanez....but only in gold...not in black. I ordered a dozen today just to keep some on hand....they sell for $4.50 each. It's the same knob that comes on the Ibanez Geroge Benson Model (GB-10).


Hope this helps....take care.

I picked mine up from peavey for like two bucks but that's been 6 years ago....the peavey knobs have an indent at the top for the rubber gripper, but will stretch over a standard prs knob
