Vintage tuners for J-45 Standard

[Snapper Jones]

Can someone please let me know if the vintage tuners Gibson sells on their website will fit the J-45 Standard? I'd rather just use the holes already made vs. adding new ones. If not, where could I find vintage-style tuners that would work.

 

tx in advance.

have a look on stewart macdonald site . many choices for tuners . if you look in the reviews at the bottom of each page people say what they bought the tuners for

also the guys will help you out with an email request

i got grover open back tuners for my j45 historic (surely same size holes ?? ) great tuners and just a straight swap for the originals

good luck

I would also recommend StewMac's "Golden Age" tuners. They will fit a vintage Gibson easily and look great.

Those buttons are SO clean and white IMHO that I'd try to stain them a little...coffee or tea would probably do the trick.
