mr_goodbomb Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I want to swap by black tuneomatic and stopbar, and tuners, for chrome ones. Everything on Ebay says "Gibson/Epiphone," but I'm told that Gibson and Epi use two completely different measurements. I want to find a set on the cheap, so I'm really looking for a good price, but I need to find some that FIT! What sizes am I looking for? Why is all this stuff labeled Gibson AND Epiphone when they use different sizes? Urgh.
jagg11 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I hope this doesn't apply to Lp's I just ordered 75.00 worth of Gibson hardware for an Epi Lp
mr_goodbomb Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 I believe it does. I'm sure you can return it if it does. Maybe someone else here can answer us.
Ron G Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Good stuff at GuitarFetish that many of us have been quite satisfied with. Pretty sure the following, for example, will fit. Bridge: http://store.guitarfetish.com/labutustchbr.html Tuners: http://store.guitarfetish.com/fusigrch3x3t.html I'm pretty sure those tuners are Jinho brand, same as stock Dot Studio (they're what's on my DS) Look around their site at the other stuff, too. Email Jay with questions as to fit, etc.
mr_goodbomb Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 So there's the TOM. Will their normal stopbar fit? They offer two sizes of TOM but one of stopbar, which I found weird.
Ron G Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Reread the last line of my reply. (I would have the same question)
TWANG Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I've swapped out plenty of bridges on epis. and I've sold quite a few rollers that fit right in. the only problems I've hit are the sheraton II's from Korea. odd stuff there. I redid my dot studio.. and used a schaller, which was a major pain and I didn't have to do it. they come in metric so gibson, usa size, don't fit. some of the tails however will fit. Tuners will usually be grovers.. it's really a question of whether they have press fit bushings, or screw in. those aren't interchangeable. You can search a few pages back for my Big Red thread and see new tuners, tail and bridge as well as some other things, and I have all those part numbers and can tell you what to expect in replacements. Just pm me. TWANG
mr_goodbomb Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 So, are the Dot Studios suffering from the same incompatability issues as the Sheratons? Or will Gibson USA-fit stuff fit on them?
