fortyearspickn Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm with George Carlin Is it half empty or half full ? Sounds like the glass is too damn big ! When did they start making shot glasses 3 ounces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Olie, The tulips were a drop in to the existing tuner holes, as I recall. I’ve done many tuner swap-outs and now and then you need to ream out the holes just slightly. I did need to drill a small hole for each to accommodate the additional mounting screw in the back. Overall an easy project. They really reduce the weight on the headstock, and look better in my opinion. They could be swapped for open back Grover’s or Waverlys, likely within minutes. Hope this helps, Olie. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpicker Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Well, that’s a tossup. To some it’s an advantage, to others, not. If resale value is an important criterion, you may want to leave the originals. To me it was not an issue at all. I change out the modern tuners on all guitars whose vintage counterparts would have sported open backs. I.e. not a D35, but yes on a D28, J45, etc. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
