RetroSpec Exclusive Series Control Knob Pointers Round Tip - Nickel

Vintage Gibson Les Paul control knobs had a small nickel pointer under the bonnet knob — a slightly rounded-tip pointer that aged to a warm, dark nickel over decades. These pointers sit under the bonnet knob and are often missing or wrong on reissue and vintage guitars.

The RetroSpec Exclusive Series Control Knob Pointers in round-tip style deliver the correct diameter and nickel finish, fitting directly under our Bonnet knobs and most reproduction Gibson-style bonnet knobs. These are the vintage-correct round-tip pointers, not the flat or sharp variants found on modern reproductions.

Each set includes 4 nickel pointer inserts for complete knob restoration.

Choose between NOS (New Old Stock) for a clean vibe, or Aged for that well-loved, road-worn appearance. Perfect for restorations, conversions, or any player chasing the golden age of tone and craftsmanship. Every aged piece is hand-treated, resulting in slight variations that give each one its own unique character.

This is more than just a pointer set — it’s the finishing detail that brings your vintage amber bonnet knobs to life.
