A pair of lathe turned, billet stock, replica "Top Hat" Volume/Tone control knobs.
Faithful to the specification used on Sir Brian May's original Red Special, these rugged, solid aluminium knobs with red indicator dots 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.
These knobs are factory fitted to all post-2017 BMG Special models.
These buttons give a great look to the BMG Special, as a replacement of the former ones from 2010. I bought an additional 2 for my DIY pedals, such as the Fryer treble booster.
A vast improvement on the old knobs. Makes the guitar look a bit more authentic. The delivery was very quick too. They've inspired me to totaly upgrade and now have a BMG Super guitar on the way.
I really like the knobs on my Red Special tribute, they make it really look the part.Shipping from the UK was incredibly slow... three weeks! But the way the knobs look made it worth the wait.
Response:
To be clear, although despatch from the UK was swift, local delivery by USPS in the USA was far from optimal, for which we apologise, but have no control over.
Loved receiving these in the post... There's no other knob quite like it: sleek, sexy, and utterly iconic! Bought this for a project I'm working on with Supersonic Queen and couldn't be happier. Over the years, I have become quite the aficionado of knobs - coveting the unusual and unorthodox, but Brian May's knob is by far the perfect marriage of form and function! Brilliant quality and class service. Thank you to the BMG team x
Great, just like the originals.
The knobs were safely packed, and quickly shipped to the US. They were perfect, and perfectly completed the look of my Red Special.Phenomenal service and customer experience. Cheers!
Item quality is very nice. Fast shipping. Happy with purchase.
All perfect. The ONLY bad thing is the Brexit — I had to pay 30 percent import fees! Crazy... I'll never buy again from England.
This 30% figure includes standard rate local VAT (22% IVA for Italy) which all EU customers are required to pay on goods imported from *anywhere* in the world, not just the United Kingdom.Accordingly, please note that we do not charge UK sales tax on international deliveries, so customers receive a 20% discount from Brian May Guitars.
I was so lucky to find these. It really completes the purchase. It’s looking super sharp, shipped very quickly. Very competitive, can’t ask for more.
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.
The knobs fit and look great on my Burns Red Special!
Perfect knobs to complete my replica's look. Nice and lightweight, and good grip for control.
They fit my CTS pots perfectly and there is no better way then giving any guitar a little Red Special imho
Great service, very prompt. Excellent quality parts, recommended.
Excellent product
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.
Replaced the knobs on my Burns BM guitar and love how they fit.
Nice quality, perfect fit
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 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.
