Here are my original tuners. These are the full-size Grovers however, and not the Mini's that you have.
As you can see from the photo I posted earlier, the 3-on-a-strip Klusons completely cover the holes from the Grovers on my guitar. Since the mini-Grovers are smaller I'd *guess* you would be fine but don't know for sure. You could try removing just one tuner to get an idea of how bad the "bullseye" problem is. It was very bad on mine, and required a lot of sanding.
ok I see. your screwing hole is 90 degrees with the center but mini are at x degrees towards the middle so it is possible that it wouldnt be covered but I imagine there is some kind of putty that I could cap off the holes with. Anyway ill have to keep looking for options!
cheers

And here are picture of mine @Boyd do you think the 3 on's plate would cover the side holes from these mini rotomatic tuners
I do see what you mean with the bullseye, vintage style tuners seem to have smaller washers. Something I will look into!

Thanks for the reply Sgt Pepper, Dhanners623 and Boyd. heres a picture of what i saw from another j15 owner who switched for kluson tulips. What I think I'd like...

thanks for the reply, i was leaning more towards kluson but then again holes wouldnt match up... i wonder if anyone has done this.

Hey guys,
I have a 2018 j15 in a walnut burst that I absolutely love. Though I am not a big fan of the mini grovers... I am debating getting cream color tulips with either gold or nickel hardware. I Know I would need a bushing kit and stuff for kluson but will changing to kluson reduce value from this guitar 20 years down the road? Has anyone done this tuner conversion and am I the only one that loves kluson on gibson acoustic?
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!
switching to klusons on my j15??
in Gibson Acoustic

it seems like these would be a drop in fit, at a 9.9mm diameter. Also looks like it would cover the holes from the mini's, since the longer side of the back part of the deluxe's would go towards the body of the guitar. right? correct me if im wrong!
