Lathe turned, billet stock, replica "Top Hat" Volume/Tone control knobs.

Faithful to the specification used on Brian's original Red Special, these rugged, solid aluminium knobs feature 6mm centre holes and are designed to fit modern, metric sized potentiometer shafts.

With extended use they will take on a distinctive, aged ‘’gun metal gray’’ patina.

Available in ALUMINIUM or GOLD finish.

These knobs are stock equipment on the BMG Super and on all (post-2017) BMG Special models.

They look great and I’m pleased with them
24 October 2023  | 

Overall happy with the knobs, as they look so cool and really add to the Brian vibe. Only disappointment was that one of the knobs was missing the little grub screw. Fortunately I was able to re-use one from the knobs I was removing; it’s not an exact match and, as it’s slightly longer, it protrudes out slightly. I was surprised by this basic lack of quality control - especially as the knobs are not cheap!

But, as I said, they look great and I’m pleased with them.

Beautiful

I ordered these without a plan because they're so pretty. One of these days I'm going to have to build a Red Special to use them on. In the meantime, they're on my desk looking beautiful.

Shipped promptly, fit great
21 February 2022  | 

The knobs were shipped promptly to me (I live in the US) and I am happy with them. They fit great and do the job. The old ones had no position indicator. Not much you can say about guitar knobs!

The very highest quality
15 February 2022  | 

The control knobs are of the very highest quality. Extremely professional. You get what you are paying for with this. The service went without any issues. The only thing that I can say that there is an issue with is the shipping price. It seems a bit high. There are other products that I would love to buy, but the shipping price is stopping me from the purchase. I decided to treat myself to the control knobs and not worry about it this time as I feel like I have a piece of something from an iconic guitar player/artist/musician/virtuoso/etc.

Thank you to Brian and the staff.

I love these knobs

I love these knobs. All of my guitars have them. Brian May not only rocks at pretty much everything, but he has great taste in the aesthetics of a guitar.

What a difference in look, and much better control!
21 October 2021  | 

The product was out of stock on the website so I entered my email for any updates. Within two days the item was available and I ordered it. The knobs arrived very quickly and now fitted to my old (2015) BMG Special. What a difference in look, and much better control! They fitted better than the original chrome plated ones which were slightly awkward to rotate quickly. Thank you for making these available.

So much nicer than the previous set fitted to my 2015 model
03 November 2020  | 

Lovely quality control knobs that look and feel better than the originals supplied with my 2015 model guitar. A tad on the expansive side but I expect these are produced in smaller quantities than more 'mainstream' controls. Delivery and communication from BMG was fast and efficient. Thanks

Authentic dimensions, satin finish and knurl
21 October 2020  | 

I have bought two sets of these control knobs recently because they look more aesthetically pleasing than any other Brian May Red Special knobs I have seen or bought over the years. One set is destined for a 2004 Burns/BMG Signature guitar I am upgrading and the other set will be fitted to the authentic Brian May Red Special replica I completed building in summer 2020. See my website (dsgb.net) for details.

As far as I am aware, the 'skirt' diameter should be 1 1/4" (31.75mm) and the items are correct (in fact, 32.0mm which is the nearest metric equivalent). However, the most pleasing feature, and one which I am particularly fussy about, is the knurl which appears to be the same as Brian's original knobs in two important respects: (a) narrow ridge spacing and (b) applied to the full height of the central grip. I note that this design is different to a previous one offered by BMG (which was shiny and had a sharp knurl ridge with a wider spacing) and is better in my opinion. Beware of other aftermarket versions, some of which have flaws such as badly applied or incorrect knurl.

These do the trick
27 September 2019  | 

These are just what I wanted. I bought a cheap knock off Brian May guitar (Ivy IBM-200 TRD) but I didn't like the knobs that came on the guitar, so these do the trick. Thanks Brian!

Now my Red Special is complete!
16 September 2019  | 

Loved my Red Special from the moment I got it, but really wanted to replace the plastic knobs. Took a while for the aluminum (U.S. spelling) ones to come back in stock, but then they arrived mere days after I ordered and look and feel BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks to Brian and everyone at BMG!
