The speed knob was first introduced on Gibson® hollowbody guitars in the late 1940s. Designed with a smooth, rounded profile that made quick volume and tone adjustments effortless. Its chunky feel and straightforward design gave players a tactile connection to their instrument. Over time, the speed knob became a familiar sight on many Gibson® models, earning a lasting spot in guitar history for both it's functionality and vintage charm.

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.

Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA), more commonly known as acrylic, is also marketed under names like Lucite® and Plexiglas®. This versatile thermoplastic has become the industry standard for guitar control knobs thanks to its ease of mass production, consistent quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
