northcntryblues Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi all, has anyone changed the tuners on their Blues King? Don't get me wrong - I LOVE my one and only guitar, but I have always loved the look of white button tuners on a Gibson L-00. Anyone have experience with this and know what tuners would work best on my guitar? I would have a professional install them. Thanks in advance.

jedzep Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I would hunt down Kluson three on a plate reproductions, as these are replicas of L00 original equip. I don't know if you'll find open back machines, though. Can't you simply have the buttons changed at your music shop? It'll save you a hundred bucks. Can you send a pic of your current tuners?

j45nick Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 These would be a good choice: Golden Age Tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I thought of that after I posted that they were probably 3 plate tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Those are all cool, but don't modern tuners have threaded buttons that can be swapped out pretty easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I like those golden age tuners myself….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the stock mini nickel Grovers.
