The bell knob made it's debut on Gibson® electric guitars in the early 1950s, quickly becoming a defining feature of the brand’s aesthetic. The name comes from it's distinctive silhouette; flaring out at the base and narrowing toward the top, resembling the profile of a classic bell. Beyond it's stylish form, the bell knob offers players a comfortable, ergonomic grip and smooth control over volume and tone.

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.
