Momo Shift Knobs Vs. Shutt Shift Knobs

MOMO has long held the title of the worlds best interior auto accessories, but there is some competition coming from SHUTT. MOMO shift knobs are very popular worldwide and can be found in all types of rides. SHUTT is very popular in South America and has outsold MOMO, SPARCO, and GRANT for many years, there business started in 1993 and has recently come to the US market in the last two years. Both MOMO and SHUTT are of the highest quality auto accessories only using the best materials in their designs. It seems that the only area the two companies don’t agree is price, with SHUTT consistently coming in around 20% less.

SHUTT was at SEMA 2008 and had a variety of gear shift knobs available for viewing. Made from such materials as leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, chromed details and quality laser imprinted logos. The shifter knobs were very attractive and had a great feel to them…very comfortable. The leather was thick and durable, as it was in all the products. The shift knobs attach to your current shifter lever by way of set screws set around the base usually hidden behind a screw on base…function incorporated into the fashion. SHUTT has several leather shifter boots to go along with your new shift knob, that way you can complete the look.

You may have seen SHUTT ads in some auto mags like import tuner, car stereo tuning, full power and more. And I am sure you will see more in the future, SHUTT will only grow as word gets out that there is another top quality brand out there. SHUTT added a car audio line that will rock your world, 12 inch subwoofers that come in various watts and ohms, a component set and two different lines of amps, one of which is digital.

Overall both companies have very high quality parts, very unique designs, new models coming out every season…so why choose SHUTT over the well known MOMO? Well for one Shutt has a lifetime warranty, I could not gather any info online about the MOMO warranty. SHUTT prices were 20% less overall and in this economy everyone wants to get a quality product at a lower price. MOMO products are the established company and that alone can sway some buyers. Although there is something to be said about a company that will jump up and give serious competition to MOMO, that might sway younger car enthusiast to give SHUTT a try.

After much research I found that Shutt was not that easily located here in the US yet, I called several accessory shops nearby and most had not even heard of the brand yet. The only place that looks reputable is

www.shuttusa.com

, other than that a few other online sites and that’s it right now. Of course the manufacturers sites are nice but they do not allow any purchases. So you can call and check your local shops but you will probably be back online so remember that site name.

burswood guitar what do all the knobs and the switch mean?

i have a little bursood guitar and there are three little knobs and a switch what do they mean i know the top one is volume please help

I'm not familiar with that guitar, but it sounds like a Strat layout. If so, the first is volume, and the other two are tone knobs for the pickups (probably the first one for the first pickup, and the second for the middle, bridge, or both, depending on the wiring. They're likely cut only, so you only turn the treble down) and the switch selects the pickups.

Door Knobs - Welcome Beauty To Your Home

You touch them every day, and turn them in your hand. They can be smooth metal, cold stone or hard plastic. They are door knobs and they can be the sexiest thing in your house.

It is time to take notice of these inconspicuous pieces of hardware and make them stand out as the baubles of beauty that they are. Try changing from metal to Corian or stone for an "I know you want to touch me" look. Or go for a thoroughly modern look with the contrasted beauty of glass and metal door knobs.

No matter what types of door knobs you choose, changing them can really change the whole look of your house. The great thing about door knobs is that because they are small and common you could have a different knob on every door in your house and some may not notice; unless you play up the differences. Paint a door with a silver knob Tiffany's blue or if you have a glass knob that looks like Chanel jewelry upholster the door with Chanel fabric. The possibilities are endless.

And don't think that you have to throw away your old knobs. If they are still in good shape you can attach two or three to a decorative painted board and place it in the hall or entryway to hang coats and handbags. Try dipping them in paint and rolling or stamping them on acid-free cardstock to create paper of your own design for scrapbooking or card making. If you bought an old house you may have some vintage beauties on your hands that are ready to be sold on eBay for a profit.

But before you get ahead of yourself you have to find new door knobs to replace the old ones. Sure you could hit up your local home and hardware stores, but if you really want to peruse the best selection you should shop online. Not only will you find the greatest variety of knobs, but you will also find the most reasonable prices. Choose from antique doorknobs with Victorian and art deco appeal. Or try clean and modern nickel or chrome knobs or even old fashioned wood ones. The choice is yours.

There is one rule for doorknobs and that is generally glass or crystal ones work better on doors that are not frequently used. Since they can easily show dirt and wear and tear they are more often regulated to French doors, closet doors and others that aren't grasped on a daily basis. Follow this simple rule and the elegant touch of gorgeous door knobs can be yours.

It is these small finishing touches that will really make your house a home. So don't hesitate. Start shopping today and find the door knobs you've been dreaming of. After all the door knob is often the first impression guests get of your house and it is often one thing people don't forget. Choose door knobs that wet your guests' appetites giving them a glimpse of the beauty they will find should they enter your humble abode.
