I have an Epiphone Les Paul Junior Billie Joe Armstrong set neck. It came with the stock black plastic knobs. I know they have historic roots but they seemed to be an afterthought. I'm a former Telecaster player and I've always liked those nickel barrels. These have a good grip and look nice adjacent to the wraparound bridge. Honestly, I didn't use the numbers on the stock knobs. (I couldn't read them anyway!) Make sure to check if you have fine versus coarse knurls before ordering. The variety of colors should be enough to consider a change in looks and style. I'm glad I got these.
