Do the new Amber lampshade style knobs come in Gold?

[Lewguitar]

I put the Amber knobs on '95 CE22 and put its old gold knobs on my '95 CU22.

They look great on the Tobacco Sunburst.

But I can't find them in Gold.

Are they available?

I have only seen them in amber and clear. I don't think they have made them in any other color. These are the same colors the old speed knobs were in that they used. I swapped the knobs on my CU22 and SAS over to the lampshades. They are much more classy looking than the speed knobs. I still have a few guitars with the speed knobs.

This is correct.

Me too. I only have the new knobs on one guitar. Everything else is those old Gibson style knobs PRS has been using since forever.

I like those too.

But on my guitars with that rotary switch the new knobs are a classy upgrade and that rotary switch rotates more easily and I can find the selection I want without searching for it.

There is something to be said for the old speed knobs. I think they feel better under the pinky when adjusting my volume while playing. I only have one guitar with the rotary switch on it. It is one that has the old knobs on it. I can't imagine I would like the feel of turning that with a lampshade knob on it. I think the bigger feel of the speed knob works for that type of switch. I am not one that uses the pull up tap very often but when I do, I think the old knob works better for that too. The lampshade is a little too slippery with it being tapered for me. Thankfully I can make the lampshade knob work because I don't do it often. For looks, lampshade all day long...

Try it. You might prefer it. I find the lampshade knobs easier to turn. I especially like the feel of the rotary switch with the lampshade knob. I can feel the "clicks" and see the numbers more clearly.

Best bet will be searching Amazon for similar top hat or lampshade styles. I wish they made more options: full clear, full black, gold, and red!

Yeah, I wish they’d bring the clear ones back, all you had to do was mask them up, flip ‘em over, and paint them. Any color you wanted!

Never thought of that. But that’s real smart. May have given me an idea to buy a generic clear knob and give it a go.

You can do the same thing with the black ones, they’ll just have a black band under the numbers.

If I remember I’ve seen some blue ones on a PS, but they were probably special order.

Omagaaad, could you imagine some purple ones, they would be so lush on purple quilt, with purple chrome trem, purple bobbins…..

……drool, I think I might be dreaming my PS build.

They were clear ones painted on the inside.

Edit: back when lampshades came out peeps were clamoring about wishing for other colors when Shawn came along and told us all what they were doing, and we were all: derp.

Ok my bad, they just looked really see through, from memory.

So what you’re saying is that purple is do-able.

Now where did we land on the purple trem?

Ooh purple chrome phase III’s

Ok, I’ll stop now.

So buy clear ones and spray the inside gold?

Yeah, but you’re gonna want to practice on some Perspex with different colors of gold.

I’m a Gumby gold fetishist, and all gold paint isn’t created equally.

Here’s a set of clear gold lampshades I ruined going for a “reliced” look:

Wonder how gold nail polish would work?

Man… If I wasn’t down to my last three clear lampshades I’d tell you.
