jameswithesg Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 why are you replacing them? MORE PICS OF THE REST OF HER!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 why are you replacing them? MORE PICS OF THE REST OF HER!!!!!!!!! I'll ask the same question Why?, If you're having tuning problems right now it's because the strings aren't properly locked (at least that what it looks like from the picture). If it's something else you can get replacements here: http://www.wdmusic.com/shop_by_category_tuning_machines_kluson_6_in_line.html More pictures!!

Riverside Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I always liked the old walnut finish the best. Why do you need to replace the tuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 WHATS WRONG WITH THE GODDAM TUNERS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Did you condition the six-stringed necks fretboard? Why is it so dramatically darker? It looks pretty funky. Calm down, Riverside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 My first advice is to call Gibson Customer Service at 800-444-2766. Since you're out of the USA, I tried to call for you but got no answer. Second, send them an email. The address is service@gibson.com Include the serial number for the guitar and ask them where the original tuners came from. Contrary to popular belief, Gibson didn't make the tuners. Many different companies did including Grover, Kluson, Schaller. You might be able to find new replacements that fit perfectly. Grover offers a replacement, but I don't know how accurate it is. The holes must be the correct diameter. http://www.grotro.com/Mainvintage.html And to add on to the question posed by Riverside, what exactly is wrong with the tuners?

Andre S Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Is that a Norlin era EDS 1275? Just asking because of the absence of bevelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 guitar dater says: Kalamazoo Plant, USA February 15th, 1978 Production Number: 83 Now, what has been put on the fretboard of the 6 string side? Have you tried pulling the tuners and lubricating all of them? they look like they should still be in pretty good shape. also people are right about the wrappings: it won't hold a good tune if the strings are wrapped like that.

lababouille Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 I oiled the handle of the six strings to feed the wood. i am going to do th same thing to the twelve strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I oiled the handle of the six strings to feed the wood.i am going to do th same thing to the twelve strings. what did you oil it with? that looks often dark for the usual oils used on fretboards, and putting that much on is really overkill. how many other guitars do you own?

NeoConMan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah, digital photography can be tricky with the way it interprets light but that neck looks like it's covered with motor oil to me.... I called Gibson Customer Service this morning. They said there's not much in the way of records on guitars built before 1988. They have no idea who made your tuners but recommended allparts.com for replacements. Be sure to accurately measure the shaft diameter of your existing tuners. The production date is as TBone states, and the body should be three pieces of Mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I can tell you from the photos that the tuning machines on this guitar were manufactured by Kluson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I can tell you from the photos that the tuning machines on this guitar were manufactured by Kluson. Not nessecarily. If you look closely, the tuners are branded "Gibson Deluxe" just like the modern ones which are manufactured by Grover. I'm not saying they are Grovers. I don't know what they are. I'm just saying I don't think they're Klusons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lababouille Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 i have send mail to klusons and to thomann i wait ... and i tell the answer to you Dub-T-123 : Dunlop Crybaby is definitively the best (the old one) greetings ps 1 : i am going to send an email to groover so ps 2 : if i find unused tuners (machines heads) i am going repaired to the old by my watch (a man who's repair watch)! english is no easy !!!!

Dub-T-123 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Wow I love the color of the back of the necks. That is a beautiful guitar. Don't worry about your English. I could understand you perfectly. You're much better at speaking English than I am at speaking French. And yes, I love my CryBaby. It's only around 10 years old but it is modeled after a vintage one so it sounds very similar. I'm thinking about doing a red Fasel mod on it to make it more authentic. By the way, do you own any other guitars? With a 1275 like that I'm sure you have some cool axes :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
