Matt Falcus Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi all, can anyone point me to an online dealer who sells replacement buttons or machine heads for the standard Epiphone Les Paul? I have the light green ones. Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ahhhhhh....MANY sources - Do you have a MAX price? They can range from $25 a set from Guitarfetish, to $70 or more from other vendors. I snag my sets from a vendor on ebay, Gibson Deluxe Tulips, average around $40 a set plus small shipping fee. Speaking of ebay - just checked for grins. Main search result page from ebay........ http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=gibson+deluxe+tuners&_sacat=See-All-Categories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Falcus Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 My existing ones are the cheapest plastic ones, and I just need a single replacement for a snapped button. Are they not available any cheaper than the ones you're quoting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not available any cheaper than the ones you're quoting? Not likely, as tuners and replacement buttons/tips are sold in SETS. To replace the single broken Tip, you'd have to buy a set of tips, then MELT the plastic tip into the shaft, then a bit of superglue at the joint just for good measure... OR purchase a new set. For Real. Difficult to score just one tuner, even locally, unless you just stumble across it. Least expensive SET I can come up with, from GUITARFETISH (I buy lots of goodies from them): http://www.guitarfetish.com/3x3-Keystone-Green-Key-Vintage-Style-Tuners-Nickel_p_36.html The Power is YOURS!
