Hipshot Products O-ring Knob Reviews  5 / 5 based on 1 reviewsThe knobs I'm reviewing have a gold finish and use a hex screw to lock them in place around the volume and tone pots. I've been studying the guitar for 32 years and I'm a professional guitar instructor. I've also been an endorsed musician for over 5 years and enjoy performing with my band: 3 Hour Tour.
I acquired these O-ring Knobs from Hipshot directly and they sell for $10.70 USD each. I'm basing my review on the knobs that are installed on my guitar - a Minarik Lotus.

These O-ring knobs are a great performance upgrade for any guitar. The main idea behind these knobs is for the guitarist to quickly ride their volume or execute swells flawlessly without worrying about slipping on the knobs due to sweaty hands or just human error. They achieve this by adding 3 rubber O-rings around the knob to gain traction with a pinky finger!
Installation was very simple because all I had to do was remove the factory knobs and slide these over top of the potentiometer and screw it in place with an allen wrench. That's it!
This product couldn't have been easier to install and works exactly as it should!
The knobs have some weight to them and are highly polished to look great on any guitar. The screw was tight and machined well as there was no wobble or play as I locked the knob in place.
If you perform at all and have a need to ride your volume to achieve overdrive and clean sounds or just like to perform volume swells, you need to look into these O-ring knobs by Hipshot. They just make your guitar look classier and for the price, it's a great way to upgrade your instrument!  John Gorbe rated this unit on 2011-05-09.
