Thank you all for the useful info. Still talking things over with my luthier. Cheers, Bob.

Thank for the helpful replies! I asked the same question on the AGF and if anyone is interested in the replies there, here is the URL: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=482533 Cheers, Bob.

Hi all. I want to change the stock Grovers (1:14) on my two Gibsons to something more smooth and with a higher ratio (1:18 or better). I would strongly prefer a type which is just a drop-in, without need for drilling or anything. After checking what is available and doing a search on this forum I thought the Gotoh's 510 were the best choice. Is this indeed still the case or are there better alternatives? Thanks, cheers, Bob.
