Oven knobs on white pickguards?

[placebo62]

Hi guys,

I dont think I've ever seen this, just curious if anyone has tried it, does it work? Like on a 620 or 360v64?

I ran the oven knobs for a while after seeing them on a prototype with white guards in the Rittor book. Looked pretty cool, IMHO.

Oh nice, thanks Dan. What model is that? 360/12 WB VP? or 360/12v64 with R tailpeice?

That's the '65 330 that was double bound and re-necked with CP inlays by Dale Fortune. I liked the oven knobs, but found them a little clumsy to use in a live situation, so I eventually sold them on eBay after finding a vintage silver-topped set.

HERE is my Flickr photo set dedicated to the '65.

wow, she's a beauty. And what an amazing job that Dale did.

The knobs are just that, knobs, so there are no problems with it "working," at least functionally. Aesthetically, however, I would say, no it doesn't!

I just bought a set of oven knobs from Pick of the Rics. I planned to use em on the charr broiled 360, but I may put em on the 330 that has a B5 on it, ala John Lennon. I am curios about the 330 inlays as I just bought a 330 12. It was a good deal and it's a good guitar, but I have never been a fan of the 24 frets, though they are surprisingly useable as I discovered last night. How does having the inlays redone affect the price of the instrument?

ps I saw one just like it played at the dream cruise by a beatles band.

I saved that page to my Internet Explorer "Favorites" when it was first posted! It's a big part of the reason why I sent my 330/6 to receive similar conversion treatment, though I went even further by supplying a ROS jackplate and wiring circuit. It will be a 24 fret CB 365 WB with FWI, vintage headstock (bound), toasters, et cetera in JG when it's done. Eventually I'm going to have another like conversion done in Blue Boy.
