Why are they so expensive if they're just copies?

They're very specific and custom made copies, so it'd cost a lot to get a small order machined.

yeah, to expand on what Malik said, if you look at the numbers when playing guitar, they are right side up. Only white jazzmaster witch hats, and black XII witch hats were made like that. All other witch hats the numbers are upside down.

$100 for knobs is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever heard?
WHY.

I guess some gear freak asked his mate who owns a knob factory if he could make him a few knobs like Jazzmaster ones, and he probably didn't want enough to make the prices ridiculously cheap. Fool.

Jazzmaster knobs aren't witch hats? They're Strat knobs.

Am I alone in thinking witch hats look like SHIT on most guitars?

I like the look of white which hats over the strat ones on jazzmasters. but unless you have a vintage that was in need. i would never pay big bucks.
and i would defo never buy repros for that much.
just paint them cheapo black ones

That's overpriced. Why would you need that? I bet you could buy the original witch hat knobs for less than the price of the new copies.
