Tukinator Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Anyone know a quality set of replacement tuners for my Les Paul Special double cutaway? I have a set of grovers, but they're WAY too big. I already tried my hand at drilling on another guitar. . .and proceeded to destroy it. I'd prefer they fit out of the box. lol This guitar. . . Thanks for any advice or direction.

RotcanX Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I put Dixons in one of mine, and Grovers in the other. I had to bore out the holes in either case. If you're leery of this I'd suggest you take it to a pro; it'll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukinator Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks. No direct replacements that you're aware of though? I sorta half expected that to be the case, but was holding out hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tukinator Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 So I'm talkin on the phone a few minutes ago with my buddy who loaned me the other tuners to see if they'd work. He's an amateur luthier of sorts, and he's got parts galore. He says 'oh, I have a set of those, I didn't know that's what you needed.' :- Heading over to his place now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did the Grovers would have fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did the Grovers would have fit. Yep. Found that out myself. Looks like I'll be taking it to someone to bore out the holes. Thanks again for the help guys.

james_edward Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Sorry, I should have noticed you were talking about a Junior, anyway the same tuners are available in the smaller size with push in bushings, you really don’t have to do any drilling.
