Customer reviews about Fender Potiknobs for American Tele

T

Good quality but very expensive for a pair of knobs!!!

TrEr 12.06.2019

I got these to use with standard solid shaft potmeters. None of the cheaper ones in stock at Thomann seem to fit standard quality pots like CTS or similar. For example the Thomann/Harley Benton-branded knobs that are supposes to fit Telecasters... well, they don't. At least not American ones.

So I needed to get these rather overpriced knobs instead. I guess 90% of the price I paid was for the Fender logo on the packaging. They work great though, good quality. But seriously overpriced. This will of course affect the total rating. Next time I'll shop around to find something cheaper instead.

After 20 years

MacFurax 17.03.2018

20 year ago I added a bridge pickup to my Americain Precision bass, so I had to add a volume pot, but the luthier at that time did have the same pot as the others. He puts me a smaller one. I live with so far.

But now it's fixed !

Quality look's little be lower then the original, which is sad for fender props.

pros
- like the standard one

cons
- expenssive
- quality little bit low for the price

Quick Thomann delivery.

Premium perfectly crafted knobs.

marYn 26.11.2018

Perfect quality knobs. Made of solid metal, knobs are bit heavy, CNC'd grip feels great, these small spikes are sharp and grips very well, not like cheaper knobs found on most guitars where the grip spikes are bit rounded and therefore slippery when you turn them. Expensive, but worth the price, you get a premium product.

The real deal - don't settle for less.

Kevin Lindsay 02.06.2022

I've learned from experience that you get what you pay for.
These knobs are reassuringly solid, with just the correct level of roughness on the sides - so that you'll never slip when adjusting the settings on uour instrument.

Good quality replacement

Belgian 03.03.2019

I used these to replace the knobs on my mexican blacktop tele.
I put all-new electronics and the old skirt-style knobs did fit the new pots (allparts push-pull), but they were very slippery and therefore almost impossible to engage the push-pull switch. These knurled knobs provide excellent grip, while restoring the more authentic tele controls look.
Pros:
Very high quality material and machining
nice reassuring weight
Cons:
a little pricey, but worth it

These are quite expensive for just some knobs, but the look and feel is very good

Perfect for P Bass

Basspower50 10.01.2019

Purchased these a while back, just got around to installing them.

I replaced my stock P Bass pickups with a set of EMG HZ as I love the growl of the EMGs over the stock ones (I've been an EMG user for many years). The Fender knobs wouldn't sit right on the pot shafts so I purchased these to replace them. Fitted perfectly, nice bit of weight to them and installation took about 10 minutes.

Highly recommended.

Solid but pricey

K.Kay 29.01.2020

I bought them to replace my old knobs on my 69 Reissue tele. A bit pricey as there are a lot of aftermarket products, but that’s the real deal if you have a USA fender.
The quality and the finish is what it makes the difference between fender and the other makers.

Fender Potiknobs for American Tele

MattD 24.07.2014

I bought these as I was upgrading a 1996 Japanese P bass. I wanted new knobs to sit on the CTS pots I had bought. Basically, these are EXACTLY the same as what you would get on a USA Fender Precision today. That have a completely flat top, as opposed to the oval topped ones. They are quite heavy for what they are, meaning the turn with ease when in use. The barrel is also very grippy. The ones that came stock on the Japanese Precision looked similar but were much lighter and had tarnished badly. I'm expecting get these to last a lifetime.
Highly recommended.

Good quality

Stefano_80 10.06.2020

I replaced the pickups and electronics on my P-bass with the EMG Geezer Butler. They come with larger potentiometers' shafts (1/4 inch) than the original and so I had to buy new knobs. I decided to buy the originals after reading the reviews of all the alternatives. They fit perfectly. They are rather expensive, compared to some of the alternatives, but they are solid and heavy.
