hmtaylor Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi all, This is my first post on the forum here, I hope this is the correct location for my question. I have a Gibson Challenger (all black), with two humbuckers. I believe that makes it a Challenger II. It is all stock. I would like to replace the tuning peg buttons with the Gibson perloids. I've heard it can be very difficult to find the authentic perloid tuning buttons. My questions are: what do you suggest I do to make this happen? Where can I look for the perloid buttons? Which do I need? Are there any other arrangements I can make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm not real sure what are the authentic pearloid "buttons". That guitar had Grovers as I remember, so I don't know what you want. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobB Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Some great places to find good replacement parts are www.stewmac.com and www.allparts.com. You might find used Gibson parts on internet sites like eBay or Craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find used Gibson parts on internet sites like eBay or Craigslist. well the actual peg is the "perloid button" im referring to: http://static.musiciansfriend.com/derivates/6/001/207/018/DV019_Jpg_Regular_306088.jpg I spoke to someone who said I could just replace the button instead of the entire tuning assembly... the problem is getting hold of them. I have checked allparts and stewmac, they have perloid buttons that I think would work but they are different looking than the ones above (the authentic gibson ones) I guess I'm just wondering what options I have? If I could replace the entire assembly then I might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
