Do the lampshade knobs fit the stock SE pot stems?
I believe that you may have to open the spline up a little, as the SE pot will be metric and the core knob imperial.
That’s a good question. I know there are two spline counts on CTS pots, 18 and 24. I was going to take a look under the knobs on the 513 I’ve got on my lap today, but found those knobs are on tight! I think a quick email to customer support will give you the details. Come back and share what you find out!Not to hijack the thread, but this seems relevant...
Do standard Gibson Speed knobs fit on the McCarty pots? I'd like to get rid of the lampshades.
Thanks!
Thanks. So the McCarty spline shafts are NOT standard 1/4" CTS. They ARE metric 6mm?
Yes?

I'm pretty sure core knobs, as @Alnus Rubra mentioned, are imperial (non-metric) size. The SE ones would be metric.
My reply was for @justjoshin .
Your McCarty is a Core instrument, that unless it has been modified, should be imperial (1/4 CTS).
You will probably find that the knobs that you are talking about wanting to use a replacement will be a direct match.
It’s the pots that are fitted as standard on the SE range that are metric.
Apologies for any confusion.
I, um, spotted that too!A quick check of the PRS accessories store shows that their standard pot is an 18 spline (or appears so to my aging eyes!)
An online search appears to show the G pot is the same, so you will probably be ok with US speed knobs.
EDIT: just re-read my answer and the part about a G pot looks a little dubious
I, um, spotted that too!
Yes they do. Plus, I end up changing the pots eventually anyway so they'll be fine.Do the lampshade knobs fit the stock SE pot stems?
Blasphemy!!Not to hijack the thread, but this seems relevant...
