newfiesig Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 2015 Japan Ltd Edition Les Paul Tradition in cherry burst. Want to keep tuners traditional, trying to decide between these two: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gibson-vintage-nickel-machine-heads-with-pearloid-buttons https://schaller.info/en/machine-heads/234/g-series-deluxe-keystone?number=10140123.16.36&c=53 Thoughts?

sparquelito Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'm not sure I understand. Are you going to remove the G-Force auto-tuning monster, and these are the choices for replacing that? I would go with the first one, the Gibson Vintage dealeos with the pearloid keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 My choice would be the Gibson Deluxe tuners. Will you have to drill new holes to mount these tuners or do they line up with existing g-force tuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you have to drill new holes to mount these tuners or do they line up with existing g-force tuners? I believe the peg holes are the same size. There are now screw holes drilled.as of yet, so I can use any tuners I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I cant view the first link without selling my soul to the website, but Shallers are always good. Let us know how it goes, whatever you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfiesig Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Wondering if anyone has experience with the Schallers in person. Besides the "S" in place of "Gibson", do they look any different from the Gibson Deluxe tuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfiesig Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Decision made. Going with the Gibson Deluxe in chrome. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I guess I'm too late, on this thread, but if it were me, and I wanted what the original vintage Gibson's had, with that style tuner, I'd go with the Kluson version, as it's what was on those original Gibson models, with the "Tulip" tuners. The current Gibson version, and the Schaller versions have the sharper edging, all around, whereas the original (and newer) Kluson, has a rounded edge on the top front portion! So, depending on how "accurate" you want them to be, that might be another thing to consider. Kluson are good tuners, and probably even better, these days.
