Wyn Jones Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I accidentally damaged a tuner and have been looking for replacement. I attach an image of the tuner ( part PMMH-040) and dealers still use dame images on their websites. However Gibson have replaced the "Gibson de luxe" with a distinctly poor looking "Kluson de luxe" (second pic) claiming in effect that my original guitar was incorrect.

merciful-evans Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 If the Quote original guitar was incorrect then Gibson are responsible for that being incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyn Jones Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 Thanks. The guitar is out of warranty and I am beginning to suspect Gibson have cheapened their offer on this particular guitar. I bought mine in October 2006. Does anyone out there have a more recent '64 replica or (magic) an original please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) The Kluson Deluxe tuners in the second pic are more similar to the vintage tuners. Gibson is currently using the Kluson deluxe style tuners on their reissues Edited February 18, 2023 by Dub-T-123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Heavy Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Remove those poor tuners and install a set of real tuners : Schaller Double Ring ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
