Okay Ron, I looked the four knobs that are with the pickguard and harness from my 2003 325C58...three of the knobs have 'Rogan Bros. Skokie Ill.' on the bottom, while one says 'ROGAN BROS. CHICAGO USA' on the bottom, all have allen-head set screws. I can't remember if I did any swapping around of the knobs, I think they were the ones on the guitar when I bought new.

Thanks John. Thats interesting, because the set of four knobs I have sitting here on my desk (with slot screws) have 3 Rogan Skokies and 1 Rogan Chicago as well!

I just got my Rogan catalog yesterday.The part number is rc-165. According to the info in the back pages, you can order them in any configuration you want. ie: material,insert color, set screw , etc. They will make custom knobs for any application. Thats all they do is knobs.

While this is true, bear in mind that Rogan is an OEM manufacturer, and is likely to send you to a distributor to purchase your knobs if you want only four of them.

The distributor, in turn, will only be able to sell you what he has in stock, which is likely to be the brown ones or possibly black.

If we could order 10,000 knobs, we could get them in any color we want.

Anybody want to sign up for, say, 100 sets? If I could get 100 people to each buy 100 sets, then we could all have rare ivory Rogans!
