That's what I was thinking. There are smaller versions on the new Hornet RI. I think they were used post-'65, so they would even be rare on the bits market. I think I may have seen them on late 60s Epi amps as well.

Good luck with those. Maybe check Radio Shack?

obviously these dont have the right color pointers, but you might get an idea what they go for if the right ones do show up.


its really hard to tell without reference what size they are, too. might be huge.

Here are the right color pointers, but it's $60 for 2. They were used on the Silvertone Twin 12.

The epiphone knobs look taller and the red line kinda goes through the middle a bit?

The 2 for $60 have been on there FOREVER, though. At least a few months.

also, those 1484 knobs are pretty large compared to the ones on that wilshire.

yeah, like i said, couldnt tell if they were scaled right. might be that epi only made those knobs, and only for that guitar at the time. :(


EDIT- scaled right!? i swear i live in pixel land now...
