Knob Pointers 30* vs 90*

[dan_tramble]

Hi All

Question... I've got a LPS with amber speed knobs and i've got a SG with Black witch hat knobs (61 style)

I have a pair of 30* pointers and a pair os 90* pointers

My question is this....

The 90* go on the top hat/witch hat knobs

and

The 30* go on the speed knob??

I'm trying to get these as accurate as I can, I've searched for this spec but I can't seem to find it on the internet

Any opinions/or information would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in Advance

Dan

Pointer washers with speed knobs?

Are you insane?!

Pretty much all of my guitars have pointers and speed knobs....

I'm also pretty sure ALL Les Pauls came stock like that up until around '55/'56.....

Seems 90 degree pointers with the speed knobs!

I didn't even know they had speed knobs back then..

Also, the OP is correct in his assumption that the 30 degree pointers work best for the witch hats.

Thanks a lot guys
This is an awesome web site

I wired all my guitars (gibson ones) 50's wiring a-la joneys' wiring schematic with the wire and braided wire, they are pretty sick

I wanted the pointers because the guitar on rythym works best at 7 and then I go full pot for lead and dial it back I like the vintage look as well

Thanks a lot for the help and advice

This is a really great forum

The desire for pointers has no need of justification.
