I am the proud owner of a new Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird 12-string. Wonderful instrument, except for the tuning machines. Can someone enlighten me as to what good quality machine heads will fit this guitar?

About twenty years ago I went to a guitar show, credit card in hand and with my wife’s blessing, to buy a Gibson Les Paul. I must have played thirty Lp’s that day. Only one of them really spoke to me? Stood out from the rest,and it was a Gibson for 1500. But there was this one Epi that was really close and that played with me better than the rest of the Gibson LP’s, and I took it home for 300 bucks. Still love it, I put a Seth lover in the bridge as soon as I got it. Now 20 years later I am adding a Seth Lover to the neck position and rewiring everything, new pots etcetera. While I see overall that Gibson quality is better, it boils down to all the variables that go into a guitar and how your feel matches the instrument’s feel. BTW I have an Epi inspired by Gibson hummingbird 12-string on back order. I have heard side by side comparisons of these new inspired guitars with their Gibson counterparts and I do hear a difference with Gibsons sounding smoother, more balanced tone. But not thousands of dollars better.
