Ron G Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Jinho tuners I mentioned in a recent thread are excellent and substantially less expensive than Grovers. Often stock on new Epis. An alternative to think about. I don't know about availability of the Jinho brand in your part of the globe, though. Have a look. http://store.guitarfetish.com/fusigrch3x3t.html http://store.guitarfetish.com/fusiblgrch3x1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty3693 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The ones on at the moment are the rotomatics if they were locking you would already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intruderx Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Do they match with the holes on the epi or do i have to drill new ones or something? EDIT: ok i will use the grover! thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rextasy Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Looks like full-sized Grovers, same as on my G-400. My LP 100 has Gotohs. I think Jinho makes tuners, including some nifty cheap nickel keystone buttons, that will replace Grovers without drilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emetry Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I might be in the minority here, but even if you have the extra cash to spring for the lockings, just stick with the rotomatics. I for one LIKE the little slides in tune that the rotos have after a while. More character that way. Hell, one of my favourite guitar sounds came from Jeff Buckley in the original recording of his cover of "Hallelujah", and that was FILLED with tuning issues.

I ordered these in gold for my last build, and they were not drop in replacements. The tuners I got from Guitar Fetish used press in bushings, which would not work on my Epi due to the diameter of the holes in the headstock. They were larger than the outside diameter of the press-in bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
