Embossed Top Hat Reflector Volume Knob for Gibson® Guitars

This model is taller than traditional, vintage-style top hat reflector knobs. When installed, the knob slightly hovers above the guitar’s body, providing near-complete protection for the potentiometer while offering more surface area for a secure grip.

Norlin® reflector inserts feature a brushed stainless steel–style finish with a distinctive east-to-west grain pattern.

Gibson® first introduced the top hat control knob in the mid 1950s, featuring black or gold skirted designs with numbers around the base. Around 1960, a flat metal disc was inset into the top, catching and reflecting light, earning it the nickname “reflector knob”.

Embossed guitar knobs are a step up in quality from stamped versions. This method is a nod to traditional craftsmanship of earlier production methods. By pressing the numbering directly into the material, it ensures a clean, crisp imprint every single time while giving the numbers a distinctive, three-dimensional look.
