Guest icantbuyafender Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I recieved ALL 3 chrome sets and put them easily in my G400, LPstd, and goldie. the G400 and Goldie had grovers on them, but the grover screw hole line up PERFECTLY, and i used my Dremmel drill bit set (great investment) to make the top screw holes once the conversion bushings from GFS were pushed into place and the bottom grover screw was secured. Heres the jist of what they look like on my LP std (poor guitar never gets any photo time with you guys) You kluson lovers will enjoy this $22 dollar alternative from MMTGenterprises at their ebay store Now just waiting for my gold set and gold bushings, and Cream TUSQ nut and Cream TUSQ saddles Wooooo merry xmas to mee!

carverman Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Very nice..why they even look like Klusons! In spite of all the critisism on their prone to detuning or slipping.. they ARE still the quintessential vintage Gibson look, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dueling shadow Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Looks good, do they come in the "snot" green as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Glad to hear they line up with the original grover screw holes. I can't wait to fit them to my Les Paul. Tell me though, is the colour of the buttons properly creamy/yellowy, or is it brighter. It's just that they're described as Ivory by mmtgenterprises on EBay which, for me, conjurs up images of nearly pure white. I don't know why. They look genuinely creamy in your pics. How does the colour compare to say the neck and body binding on your guitar? How about a pic of the front of the headstock too? That reminds me, I need to order some of the conversion bushings from my local supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 A pic of the front of the headstock will suffice, just so I can see how they look. I'll take your word that they match the binding well. Sure can't wait to get them on there. As much as I love Grovers, I think the Kluson style tuners will suit my LP much better. The whole guitar just has a vintage vibe, but the Rotomatics on it, even though they're from the same era as Kluson tuners, just look modern and like they don't quite fit. It doesn't look balanced to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
