It's kind of funny listing a part for restoration that needs restoration! But it's a genuine Fender knob from a 1956 Telecaster that is also correct for Precision Bass. It's in decent shape, well-worn knurling and cool patina that looks like crazing in the chrome. The hole has been drilled out, probably because the original screw was frozen. It can be repaired by bleeding solder into the hole and then redrilling and tapping it for a new set screw. I've done it with ... more
