Gibson "amp" style knobs

[Ellum]

Does anyone know a source for the control knobs that gibson used on the 1968-197? Les Paul Customs. They look like Blackface Fender amp knobs. I know they use them on the Angus Young SG models.http://www.gibson.com/Products/GibsonElectric/Gibson%20Electric%20Guitars/SG%20Specials/Angus%20Young%20Signature/

Good eye! Could be....I'd have thought they were just top hat knobs in chrome. Not so!

Just find them for a Fender '72RI Tele. They're for all intents and purposes the same. They should fit.

Many older Gibson models used those knobs, including the old SG Specials. Needless to say, I'm getting a set for my SG.

I believe the Teles are for solid shafts and the Gibsons are splined. How in the heck am I gonna get the tone I'm goin' for without the right knobs. Lol. Actually I'm thinking about gettin' an SG classic and want to make it look a little bit like my uncle's SG Special from the 60's and I really like those knobs for some goofy reason.
