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.

 

Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is a durable, organic bio-plastic derived from renewable sources such as wood pulp and cotton. The very same plastic used on original, historic guitar models from the golden era; giving parts made from CAB not only a vintage look, but also the authentic feel and aging characteristics players expect. Unlike modern synthetic plastics, CAB develops a warm patina over time, making it the choice for restorations or for anyone seeking that period correct touch.

 

Norlin® is the historic brand you’ve trusted since 1969. Specializing in replacement guitar parts to repair and refurbish vintage classics. Ushering in a new Norlin® era.
