Djhblues 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Advice on swapping the tuners on the ES-Les Paul. I was curious if there is a Kluson type locking tuner as a direct replacement? I would actually like the same type of tuner on vintage strat where the string goes down through the post as opposed to through the shaft. Any thoughts, pictures of a swap out would be appreciated. I want these to be a direct replacement and preserver the look of the tuners if possbile. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimB1 2 Report post Posted May 2, 2018 I bought a set of TonePro Kluson “upgrade” tuning pegs to replace the ones on my ES Les Paul but I haven’t swapped them out yet. A lot of people say the TonePro Kusons are better then the Gibson Deluxe ones. The seem smoother without any play in them but I have to see how they are when I put them on. I thought about getting locking ones but like the classic Kluson look and most of the locking ones break the classic look to me.Let us know what you end up with.-Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RainboGuy 3 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 I recently purchased a 2016 Gibson Es-Les Paul Goldtop VOS with a Bigsby B7 and I'm giving some serious thought to replacing the stock Kluson tuners with a set of Kluson Revolution Tuners. They are, quite simply, the finest tuners I have ever used in my life. Here's a link: http://www.kluson.com/revolution.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
