PickitPaul Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Opinions needed for these tuners on my SJ. Would you change them out for vintage style white button instead of these green keystones? They are original to the guitar, and are not broken, so it would be for the look. Binding is white on guitar, so the greenish tint of the keystones don't really match. Should i bother or just leave well enough alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 . Go for it. You can find them with the exact footprint, just a quick swap. I swapped them out on my SJ TV, then toned down the white with brown shoe polish and I love it - . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayoubengal1954 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I like the keystones myself, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 To me, the only tuners on any Gibson that look "right" are keystones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Personally I believe on Gibson slopes the butterbeans are the only way to go ... but then again I am the resident tuner Natzi. Others have a fetish with pickguard placement, Im a tuner fetisher ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljohnr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I preferred the keystones - but that's only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
