On those tuners, they stamped another line, and turned the "E" into a "G". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Go to the Epi forum & check out the Epi Emperor Regent Guitar Porn thread. Same tuners in gold on a '50s Emperor currently listed on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
