So what's everyone's opinion on control knobs for LPs? I've got speed knobs on mine right now, but I've always been partial to lampshades, BUT I'm thinking maybe reflectors could be cool.

Depends on the guitar for me, but generally, I really like reflectors. Two of mine have them, the other has speed knobs but they’re old/yellowed and are cool so no plans to swap them. Comfort-wise, I think the speed knobs are superior than other types but reflectors look cooler, haha. I tried some witch-hats at one point but hated the feel.

Depends on the finish mostly, for me. I think speed knobs look worse 99% of the time compared to bell/lampshade ones. Reflector is finish depending vs black or amber. I generally leave everything on 10 99% of the time so grip is not a factor. My 68ri has fender type knobs and i dont care because again, on 10 most of the time :lol:..
