Fender designed these knobs to have the same characteristics as the original 1954 Stratocaster plastic parts. It's cool that they are the original design with mini-skirt knobs, differently shaped switch tip and round holes on the back-plate. However, Fender went too far with the brittle plastic formula. I have two '54 60th Anniversary Strats - 1 Heavy relic and 1 American Vintage. The knobs cracked (see photo) as a function of weather changes and the stress of the poles on which they sit. I'm the L.A. area and weather changes are not very severe but it is a dry climate. I have replaced the original knobs with these aftermarket Fender parts and they cracked again but only when fitted to the guitar. I keep a couple of spare sets that haven't cracked (yet) in the package.

Why Fender ever moved away from this shape of rounded off pickup covers, miniskirt knobs & football switch tip I'll never understand.

Most parts are very good and period correct. Biggest flaw is that the back spring cover is tooled wrong. The screw holes are drill backwards, for, you have to flip it over for it to line up correctly. Due to the recessed screw holes, the part is unusable.
