WTB A Sure grip gold control knob for a 1979 Japan Ibanez Musician

JonHosker

Buying an Ibanez Musician 400 with a missing volume control knob. Sure grip in gold. Anyone selling one or two if possible?

Those knobs are hard to find but have you considered instead Axetec’s catchily-monikered KNB008?

Thanks Keefy

Thanks Keefy

You’re welcome, someone on here put me onto them. I have them on both my Gibsons and my Ivison.

What year?

Thomann (surprised me too!) have these:

or the main place to get vintage Ibby stuff is this place:

[Edit: Doh, read the title properly next time! - 1979 would be Sure Grip I small font so Repro parts it is if you want to keep it original, or as original as repro parts can be I guess. Those Axetec look more like Peavey knobs to me]

(..oh, and when you get it, do a NGD thread. I've got an MC500DS and it's the dogs. Always fancied a 400NT to go with it - BoB if I can dream).

Just trying to recall how similar the Ibanez Sure Grip knobs are to the Greco ones used on Roland G-202/-303/-505/-808 guitar synthesizer controllers.

This is a job for @HarrySeven ;

G series didn't have the rubber grip.

The G-505 did but it was the only one in that series.

The Roland LPK-1 also had control knobs like that.

I've got two of the black ones with the cool fonts... Sure-grip IIs I think?

Thanks GuitarGeek62, need Gold and SureGrip 1s as trying to keep stock - guitar arrived missing one!!!

JonHosker

Ordered one from repro guitar parts.
 Expensive but —- the 400 is a beast and worth it! Will send a NGD post asap.
