sgtb2000 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Excellent axe, played over 12 n picked this one as the tone was better, had them put reissued PAF's n grover tuners on it, what a difference. I think it actually plays better than my 1980 Gibson LP Standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Epi site, Standards come with Grover tuners ... well, standard! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtb2000 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yes it did, but they were a cheaper model machine, I had grover 109G's put on it, they have a better mesh system and don't slip as much as the cheaper grovers.

Fringe Lunatic Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Congrats on your new LP! Yes it did, but they were a cheaper model machine, I had grover 109G's put on it, they have a better mesh system and don't slip as much as the cheaper grovers. What is a "mesh system"? As far as I can tell, the Grover Super Rotomatic (109) is the exact same 14:1 machine as "regular" Grovers (102), except that they have the 3 step buttons.

sgtb2000 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 its the gearing inside the machine, the mesh is where the gears meet, if its not tight enough they slip, causing tuning issues, the newer tuners corrected that issue, n yes the buttons are different Congrats on your new LP!

sgtb2000 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 They are, I didn't like the 3 step button, it just felt weird so I changed the buttons From what i see in the pic those tuners look exacly like the ones that came standard on my 2008 LesPaul Standard.
