Ideas for DeArmond D's!!!!
Great Googly Moogly! One of the "D"s that adorn the knobs on my M75 is gone, vanished , missing , disappeared, it has ceased to be!!!
Now the knob looks like what it really is, a cheap plastic doodad with the top off, like some mini-replica of a Chernobyl disaster, except it doesn't glow in the dark!!! Imagine Dean Martin smiling with one tooth off!!!Yuk!!
3 gorgeous Ds that scream"Watch me , folks, ain't I got some nice MIK Guild replica!" , and one black sorry lame duck pitiful thing that says "the dog ate it!
WTF am I gonna do?I know this is a recurrent issue,THE main complaint in the very exclusive DeA-owners-clubProud Member!) "Shite! Where's my D gone?-Same place as mine, in the mysterious cimetery in the jungle where the Dearmond Ds die...! I really should have known better, put the 4 immaculate knobs in a safe out there in Switzerland, speculated on the Vintage-knobs black market, and sold them, these things are priceless!!(Look at the prices on Ebay!!Eddy, are you kidding? This is what I paid for my car!)
Anyway, solutions,so far:
-Put on 4 Guild G-knobs..;Are they Metric? I guess yes...Pricey... Awkward G-Armond , a bit on the Bender/Chibson side if you are a detail-fetichist like me..
-Go for 4 gretsch-style no logo knobs, have a D printed/carved on them ...uh uh , don't know, could be nice...
-Who cares , get some some abc parts witch hats with tone and volume written on them and just play that Hot'lanta riff ,for God's sake!
-I'll try this : witch-hat knobs with an aluminium ring graduated 1 to 9 , found them on the E 44 site (electric components).
Question: Am I mistaken , or did I see 2 different scripts for the D on the DeA knobs?
Question 2: Doesn't it happen with the Gs on Guild knobs, or is there an omerta about it?
I know some of us out there have copped with this critical issue, don't be shy, even if you put some cheap stratocaster generic knobs on, confess,you might be forgiven!!
Waiting for your Ideas on those Ds, thank you!!
