I know these aren't for everybody. Anyone seen these? I bought these cool, super detailed skull knobs and put them on my ZW Bullseye. Just to be a little different and add that BLS vibe.

The guy was the miniature special effects guy for Lord of the Rings. From his site:

“I had this idea to make some super realistic skull guitar knobs to go on my black Tokai Strat gat”, says Sid. (Mmmm, can’t imagine what inspired the skull idea!!) As you can imagine he had met and in many cases had made some amazingly talented friends working in the film industry. Some of which just so happen to be among the worlds evilest sculptors!! “So it didn’t take long before I had my first set of handmade custom skull knobs to go on my gat”. (The same ones that you can purchase from Dreadmeister still today) “I never thought much about making anymore,” says Sid, “but after a few friends saw them and ordered some, I thought, shit! Maybe I better make some more”? Well we all know how the rest of the story goes.

Qparts (http://www.qparts.com/) has made skull knobs for years, but those DO look cool..definitely more realistic.
The company owner gave me a set a few years back, (never really found a use for them)and they're metal, and don't have the cranial seam on top like those...

Pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing...:D

Yeah, they're pretty corny, but right now I dig these. They look better in person than the pics.
