osueric27 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have a 80 Gibby LP Custom Silverburst. The tuners are aftermarket grovers but I was thinking of changing them for either the Kluson Vintage or Gotoh Vintage Lockers. Below are a couple links to each. I think the vintage tuners would look great. Thoughts? http://wdmusic.com/3_on_side_kluson_tuners_24885_prd1.htm http://wdmusic.com/locking_tuner_3_3_24884_prd1.htm The picture shoes Gold, but I would get nickel.

TrueTone911 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Those will look great. How do they lock? Just curious. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically once you put the string through and start to turn the key it locks the string in place so it won't slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueTone911 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Nice. And it doesn't change the look of the tuner at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osueric27 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 No, the Gotoh's look pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T50 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Make sure to ask WD Music when they would be shipping out your stuff. I bought an item from them last year, and it took them a full week just to ship it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osueric27 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks for the heads up. Any suggestion on the tuners? Are Klusons better than Gotoh's or vice versa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Both are excellent tuning machines. I personally like the Klusons on my electrics, just seems right to me on my Gibsons LP's and SG's. On my acoustics I prefer either Gotohs or Waverly open gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explorer Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Better choice. Tone pros. They recently acquired Kluson tuners and are now making locking and better gear ratio models with the classic Kluson look. So fits the modern tuning requirements of players while staying old school look wise. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered two sets of the Kluson 15:1 vintage nickle lockers for my LP and SG. Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
