Guitar Pickup Covers and Knobs Set, Cream

If you want a coordinated refresh rather than a single replacement part, this cream set brings the visible controls and pickup covers together in one color. It includes three single-coil covers, volume and tone knobs, a selector tip, and a matching tremolo arm tip. The appeal is mostly practical and visual: it can replace scratched or mismatched hardware without changing the guitar’s pickups. The tradeoff is fit—shaft and pole spacing need to match the listed measurements.

Technical details

The kit contains pickup covers for 48 mm neck, 50 mm middle, and 52 mm bridge pole spacing, plus one volume knob, two tone knobs, and one selector switch tip. Because Cream is one of the classic color options, this set also includes a matching tremolo arm tip. The components are made from ABS plastic with a spray-coated finish, the knobs have engraved 1–10 scales and VOLUME/TONE markings.

Those details make the set useful for a cosmetic refresh where a consistent look matters as much as replacing worn parts. Picture an older guitar on a workbench: matching cream covers and controls can make the face look more intentional, while the numbered markings remain visible when you adjust tone during a rehearsal. This is a hardware change, not an upgrade to the instrument’s electronics or sound.

Compatibility & requirements

The knobs are intended for metric split-shaft potentiometers with a 5.7–6 mm inner shaft diameter, commonly used on Asian and European instruments. They are not compatible with USA imperial-sized solid-shaft potentiometers. The selector tip has a 3.7 mm cross slot for a thin-shaft, five-way switch, it is not recommended for vintage levers measuring 4.8–5 mm. If that switch tip does not fit, the product description suggests reusing the guitar’s original tip.

The covers are listed for ST/SQ/IBZ mounting positions, but measure the pickup pole spacing before ordering rather than assuming every single-coil layout matches. On the spec sheet, the most important distinction is between the cover spacing and the shaft style: matching one does not guarantee the knobs and switch tip will fit too.

Usage tips

Before removing anything, compare the pickup pole spacing at the neck, middle, and bridge positions with the listed cover sizes. Check the potentiometer shaft and selector lever separately. The set is described as a press-on replacement that requires no specialized tools, so installation is intended to be straightforward once compatibility is confirmed. Avoid forcing a part that does not seat, the listed measurements are there for a reason.

It makes sense if you want matching cream hardware for a visual refresh and your guitar uses the specified metric controls. You may want to skip it if your pots have solid imperial shafts or your switch uses the thicker vintage lever and you need every included piece to fit.

Questions before you buy

Does the set include a tremolo arm tip? Yes. The Cream color is a classic option, and the listing says classic colors include a matching tremolo tip.

Will the selector tip fit every five-way switch? No. It is designed for a 3.7 mm thin shaft, the listing does not recommend it for thicker vintage levers.

Do the knobs have readable position markings? They have engraved 1–10 scales and VOLUME/TONE labels, with text described as printed to resist wearing off.

Is it worth it?

This set is a sensible buy when the goal is to replace several aging or mismatched parts at once and the guitar’s measurements line up. Compared with buying only the one damaged knob or cover, it gives you a coordinated set, including a tremolo tip in Cream. Compared with a more involved hardware or electronics upgrade, it stays focused on appearance and basic control access. The deciding factor is fit: confirm the three pole spacings, metric split-shaft pots, and thin selector lever before choosing it.
