Morgancolgrave Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi, first post as I'm only just getting my first gibson used. It's on hold for me at the shop but I have a les Paul junior that seems to be an amalgamation of two models. It is this guitar in gloss ebony http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Junior-Special-P90/Specs.asp But has these tuners http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Jr-Special-Exclusive.aspx Any reason why, or do you think the original owner changed them.

cjsinla Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The real ones came with the white button type, generally less expensive. Can't see your first pic but many guys swap out tuners they believe to be cheap or inferior. Here's a pic of a vintage Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon S. Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Welcome to the forums! The LP Special has come with White button tuners in the past, so they may be original. We would need more info and pics of the guitar to tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgancolgrave Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi. I've tried uploading pic but file size is too big! It's a 2012 model. Gloss ebony. The button tuners are marked as Kluson deluxe. I assume the original owner just changed the stock ones for a more vintage correct look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgancolgrave Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 No not sure. Just the models I can find have the normal les Paul tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgancolgrave Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes that's what I mean by normal. This is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsinla Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes that's what I mean by normal. This is mine Yeah, but the white buttons are the most common on Jrs, they're just not connected. I can't remember the last time I saw them connected except on vintage stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgancolgrave Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 If you look on the the gibson website these model specials have the traditional tulip tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsinla Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If you look on the the gibson website these model specials have the traditional tulip tuners. You are right. They may have been changed for a more traditional Junior look. I assume it was used. Easy fix if you want tulip tuners. I prefer the white on Jrs as that's all I've ever seen.
