hey,

i've been surfing the net for truly custom guitar knobs, but seem to find pretty much the same thing regardless of site, tho i have found some unique designs. i am considering the idea of dice and therefore would have to drill them, but i'm guessing i'd have to install an insert.

can you tell me what criteria i need to be searching for to find a solution for this hardbody electric? are knobs a standard size? i'll likely be installing push-push potentiometers as i'll have dual coil humbuckers ... if that matters any.

any beneficial feedback is appreciated.
cheers!

They have dice knobs on eBay.....
If you want to do it yourself, just drill according to the size of the shaft on the potentiometer you use.
