Question Expression System knobs.

Hi All,

I just bought an beautiful Taylor 514ce Quilted Sapele Ltd. However, I don't like the rubber control nobs for the expression system. Guitars are works of art in wood and I hate plastic and rubber apparatuses on them. So does anyone know of somebody who makes custom knobs for the Exp Sytem? Something made out of bone or nice wood?

Thanks, Jim

You might want to look at custom, wooden amplifier knobs. I could be wrong but finding expression system knobs in wood or bone might be a challenge.

I like the Expression System knobs as they have a nice grippy feeling. If wooden knobs were made in the same shape and size as stock ES2 knobs, personally, only then would I consider changing out the originals for wooden ones.
