Top hats are cool...

Speed Knobs don't get that much love do they?
I kind of prefer Tophats, but I must say I really don't mind the speed knobs on my Trad

The speed part describes how quickly they get replaced with tophats..

I too am considering pulling the speed knobs off the Traditional honeyburst and put gold top hats on....

I will also recommend these, I have already bought 2 set of the gold with silver, and 1 set of the black with silver from them, and they are great. I have always been a speed knob guy because standard tophats feel to small to me, harder to grip on the fly, but reflector top hats on the other hand, are taller and have a little larger diameter and are actually very comfortable, and nice in between. I am now in the process of changing all my Les Pauls over to reflectors.

nope, they're big and clunky. top hats are the bomb.

Fixed for you man
As a man who loves mammaries, I approve of those knobs! Preferably pressed against my face. After all, I need to make sure they are functioning properly both tone and volume wise, it takes time to tune in woman tone after all

hoes are extremely nice knobs! but I don't know that I would want to be speedy with them....

I put top hats on my Traditional first day I had it . I went with Gold with gold inserts since Gibson doesn't sell gold with silver. They look pretty good with my Iced Tea finish:

 

[93LPStudio]

ABSOLUTELY! These knobs could get one into trouble hehe

 

[preamp]

My kind of trouble....WOOF!
Now, what was I going to say..ah yes!
I find trying to read the numbers on the speed knobs hard under stage lighting, where as gold tophats with silver inserts and nickel/chrome pointers to be much easier under all kinds of lighting.
Plus, they look much better, the original knobs.
(which one's vol and which one's tone?...which one's pink?)
