jedzep Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Hi all...here's an Ebay listing. A B25 with ( 5 ) tuners that the seller believes are original. The 6th is obviously a replacement Kluson. I suggested that the 5 were add ons and the single is 'model appropriate'. I feel I've seen these on older Guild acoustic and electric guitars. Do any of you recognize these angular machines and were they ever used on this era Gibson? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330692095686&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
retrorod Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I don,t think they used them on Gibson of any era. Like you, I believe they are Guild-ish.
rar Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Dave, I don,t think they used them on Gibson of any era. ... +1 If you want to provide the seller with evidence, there are plenty of photos of 1967 B-25s available on Google, and they all have the standard 3-on-a-plate white button Klusons. -- Bob R
ponty Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I was given an old Epiphone acoustic recently with no tuners. However, the screw holes were in the 'diagonal' pattern like those B-25 tuners. Looking at Epiphones online, the originals were indeed the same as the B-25.They are still available, and are the cheapest and lowest quality available. Still, I have ordered some for the Epi.! Gibson never used these.
