On your left the stock chromed Epiphone
TOM and Stopbar, on the right the Gotoh replacement parts
|
|
Epiphone bushes(on the right) are wider
than the Gotoh ones.
|
|
|
The Epiphone black
and crean switch ring is on the left., the Gibson on right. Gibson inside
diameter is wider than the Epiphone to fit the deep thread round nut.
In the middle the
Stewmac can also be seen.
Only Epiphone ring is sticked
|
|
|
On right the TOM Epiphone post is threaded in its lower part over all its length whereas
the Gotoh nickelled post guards a base 4/32'' not threaded and a broader ring of adjustment
|
|
|
The stock knobs are more redish than
amber and they only fit on Epiphone on asiatic or europeans pots.
On your right a Gibson-gold knob (GreggRogersGuitars) is nearest to the
original ones.
You can only mount these knob on americans pots
Figures are in relief on both but only the replacement part has white
figures.
In the middle amber an gold Stewmac
knobs quite similar to the Gibson but without relief figures.

Epiphone vs Stewmac vs CTS
with painted resistive element on the Epiphone and
distinct track on CTS and Stewmac the thicker beeing the CTS. ( but
stewmac is after all a good alternative source)
