Fender Amp knobs that go to 11 (aka Spinal Tap)

I've been trying to find a source online who sells knobs that look like the one I mocked up but have not had any luck. These would be for my Twin Reverb.
Does anyone know someone who makes custom knobs? I know they make knobs for the Gibson guitars that go to 11 on allparts.com
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help.

Have you ever watched Spinal Tap? If so, you would understand. I'm a bit of a joker and thought this would only be appropriate for my volume knob.

Joke knobs that go to 11 are about the oldest running gag part you can buy for guitars and amps, right up there with skull knobs, dice knobs and those bawbags people hang off their trailer hitches.
It's so prevalent that I think it's dumb/done-to-death and have them anyway, on one of my LP Juniors. You can get most Gibson style knobs that go to 11 on guitarpartsresource.com, and after having installed CTS pots on a guitar I found one day they were the only thing I had that fit.
For Fender amp knobs you're gonna want to aim for AT LEAST 13.

If your tone knob goes to 13 people die.

Funny, I have NEVER seen Fender black knobs that go to 11. I've seen them for guitars several times but never on an amp - especially a Fender with these type knobs. I heard allparts made red ones but have not come across any like the pic I posted.
If anyone has a source, it would be greatly appreciated.

I take it all of your songs are going to be written in D minor, too.

I have been searching forever for amp/guitar knobs that go to 10.5, however it seems that NO ONE MAKES THEM. I guess I'll just have to settle with 10.
