saintzband Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just bought an LP Traditional Pro but want to change out the hardware from chrome to gold. The LP came w/ Grover Locking Keystone tuners (14:1) which as far as I can tell, come in Nickel only. I'd like to replace them with another locking tuner... Grovers would be fine but I don't want to mod the guitar... esp the holes in the headstock. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintzband Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Something here should match up My link I'm very familiar w/ Stewmac (the link you provided). I'm in the hunt for "something (that) should match up...." I just don't want to order something and it not be right or need mods to the headstock. I'm specifically asking if anyone knows if there is a locking machine head in gold which would be a direct replacement for the Grover Locking Keystones that come stock on this LP. By direct replacement I mean one that is the same diameter and preferrably would use the same screw holes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcscruff Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If you find the tuners you are looking for, would you be willing to sell your nickel tuners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably fit, but screw holes are another story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintzband Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I kinda figured that'd be the case....bummer! Okay, I have my answer (in case there are others in the same boat). I bought Grover 106G self-locking tuners and they are a perfect fit. No drilling new screw holes - no reaming peg holes - just take the olds ones out and put the new ones in; it really was just that simple (thank you Lord)! The stock Grovers had a 14:1 gear ratio; these 106's are 18:1 and Morrison Brothers Music (www.mobro.net) sells them for $52.95 plus $4.90 shipping & handling - by far the best deal to be found. If you have a Trad Pro and are looking to change tuners, go for these with no hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
