    Hi Hans -

    I just dug up my receipt from the tuners purchase, and here's the exact description:

    "1x ToneProsKluson 60s Round White Button Tuners - Nickel / Bolt for $67.50 each"

    However, after looking online quickly I wasn't able to find the same TonePros website that I purchased them from a few years back. It looks like they might have shut down ...

    Hi!

    I just saw your post about the tuner swap on your J45 and as I am looking to do the same I am very interested in knowing specifically which tuners you used? I haven't myself been able to find any with white buttons that are a drop in replacement for my J45 Rosewood (2007) so it would be awesome to hear from you!

    Thanks for your help,

    Hans

    There's some really great advice here. I'll say that after being on the same quest for a while, I kept coming back to the same J-45 Standard. I've had it for a year now and couldn't be happier. A couple variations within the Slope world that I learned to listen and feel for were Forward Shifted Bracing (J-45TV, J-35...), and the larger round neck profile (J-35, J-29, some reissues...). I also was taken aback at how much difference the rosewood models sounded... much more snap and headroom in a good way, though I still prefer the mellow warmth of mahogany J-45's. Eventually I swapped out the tuners for TonePro's white buttons, removed the Baggs, and put in a bone saddle with a K&K. It just sings. Best of luck!

    Hi everyone - I just added a third Gibson to my collection – the L-1 Blues Tribute (wow...) – and it has spurred me to dive into these forums more deeply. Thanks for all of the helpful information and hope I can contribute some good info as well! Cheers. J
