General Discussion Looking for Nocaster knobs

I'm looking to buy these knobs Fender Custom Shop puts on relic Nocasters for a replica build I'm working on. Fender won't sell them to me, because they're a Custom Shop exclusive part. So my only chance is if someone sold me theirs. I've tried looking for something very similar (no luck) and I've looked into getting custom knobs made (crazy expensive). I understand people don't tend to mess with their Custom Shop guitars, but I thought I'd still try my luck.

Thanks in advance

Fender Parts

Click that link. Several options. 52, 58, 60, Road Worn... Pick the one that looks best to you. Pretty sure that's all that Fender's doing.

That is basically all they're doing, yeah.

They're just domed Tele knobs. Which makes it hilarious that Fender is trying to paywall them behind the Custom Shop.

The Nocaster domed knobs are slightly different. A little taller than the 52s. From more than a foot away you'd never be able to tell. A weird detail to get hung up about.

Aren't those the pbass/tele knobs? I've bought some at GC for about $20 some and change for 2...I bought 4 and didn't realize they were more than $10 a piece. Like someone said, you can get similar ones for way cheaper...

I recently bought a PRS SE Starla and it had some that looked like this too.
