I'm close to pulling the trigger on a new SE 245 in charcoal burst, and am planning on doing just a couple of mods (at first) one being simple (or so I thought) being a set of four black lampshades (metric). I don't see them on PRS site, and even the USA in black are out. Philadelphia luthier doesn't sell this style, so where might I get a set? I find this style very comfortable to use, and stylish too.

Haven't checked reverb or amazon, will do so now...

But maybe someone knows a better site for this.
 
Nothing on reverb, except one set in black (total of 2) for $69, wtf. But USA only apparently.
 
Thanks. They appear to be the speed knobs, which are on the guitar now I think, and not lampshades, which have a little different feel to them, I believe. Below is what I'm looking at - same thing as your link? Price is certainly good.

The lampshade knobs likely won't fit since the Lampshades are made for USA Core pots.

Yeah that's what I suspect. I was hoping maybe there were SE sized versions for the same design, or at something close. Haven't seen them yet. Well maybe at some point, I'll change the pots and the holes and everything to USA size, but that's for another day.

Yeah, that's what I want. Only for USA though, not SE. Bummer. Even then, fairly hard to find it seems.

They'll fit. I put lampshades on my SE One and SE Bernie Marsden. I may have had to widen the slot on the shaft, but I can't remember.
 
^^OK, that's great news, glad I asked that. If they're close I'm sure I can get them to fit,or ask my local guy to make a custom job for me, he's pretty good. I definitely like the look and feel of these knobs, it is more than just aesthetics.
 
Just to confirm what's already been said the core lampshades will fit on the standard se pots no problem.
