Not the perfect one
Just finished new build and wanted to have nice black knobs with great grip. Especially that I've been using push-pull pots with switches.
Without thinking too much, I pushed those knobs on my pots. After 10 seconds decided I do no like the optics, so started to pull them out. Finished with two damages DiMarzio pots (with switches).
So...
PROS first:
- The grip is really fantastic
- Optics not bad
- Clearly visible numbers (very useful if you use eyes instead of ears to set volume)
CONS
- Fit. it is so tight, that once on pots, it is virtually impossible to take them off without damaging pots.
CONCLUSION
Nice knobs, great idea for very good grip, very usable, when you have push/pull potentiometers with switches.
I am using them, and probably will continue using and slowly replace my old Fender style knobs for this ones.
But now I am wiser, and before fitting them on guitar, I am redialling the hole, so the fit is tight, but not insanely tight, like them come originally.
3 stars total, as those knobs can cause potential damage to your guitar due to non-standard shaft hole.

Really nice but questionable quality considering the price
Really good if you like bigger knobs and more aggressive grip.
Looks are stunning.
The problem I had was that the grip material part just got loose and came off the knob. After 2 days. Nothing a dab of glue can't fix of course. But I think that should not happen, considering the price :)

Still not perfect
Had a small blemish on top of the plastic glass, but the bottom was very unevenly cut - I had to use sandpaper to smooth it out.
