Just an up-date on the replacements: I ordered them on Sept.26 and they arrived today exactly as described and $35 U.S. as promised.
They fit very easily and weigh next to nothing compared to the Grovers. BTW the Grovers weighed in at 75 grams or 2 3/4 oz.
Thank you jjrpilot for the recommendation!
You bet! You have any pics? Ya they fit so nice and snug! Saving 75 grams in weight feels good.

Well done. Any kind of better is much better, and just getting the bulky Roto tuner buttons off of there is an improvement. The A string button in the photo shows that they even have a grained ivoroid appearance similar to the Waverly tuners.
So- a quick spin of the small phillips head screwdriver and done? Feel free to share a link . . . I'm sure many here would like to know about that option.
Super easy to install! Just unscrew the long screws, and simply put the ivory ones on!
I got them off of eBay. Buttons!- 1

I got this J45 new a year ago thereabouts. The chrome buttons on the Grover tuners just didn't look right as those classic J45's never had chrome.
I know there are other tuner options but I didn't want to mess with extra holes or more drilling. I opted to get ivory colored acrylic buttons instead.
They were shipped from Taiwan and arrived today. They fit PERFECTLY and I love the look so much better than the chrome. The color also matched the binding. It also lightened the guitar, as those chrome buttons weighed a ton!

Is the white label in that spot correct?
Yup

IMHO, I'd skip on the vintage J45. A ton of cracks plus more repairs, plus more work vs a replica, that's brand new with zero issues...
The new J45 will original to YOU, and you'll be able to grow old with it and it'll tell your own story as you start your journey with her!
Keep us posted friend!

Ya just wood pores, same on my 2017 J45 Standard! You're good.

I know the size's tend to be a little all over the place but can anyone tell me what size of pins I would need to order to fit my 2017 J45 Standard?
Colosi lists the following sizes: 1T, 1.3T, or 2A
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is gorgeous!!! Congrats!!! Great recording as well!
Man there’s a reason why the J45 is known as the “workhorse” it really does compliment vocals so well.
May it bring you years of musical joy! Think it sounds great now just give it a few years, then 5, then 10+ years!!!
Upgraded the tuner buttons on my J-45 Standard!

No problem at all! Hope you get yours soon! The savings in weight alone is worth it not to mention we don't have to drill new holes etc.
