Riviera P 93/Changing tuners


Johnny Boy

Recommended Posts

New to this forum and it seems really great i love my new Riviera, but I'm thinking of changing to the pearl button Klausons. Does anyone know what size the peghead holes are? Seems to be either 9 or 10 mm. Also, any idea where I can get a set that will fit without any modification. Thanks for any help.

Hi Johnny,

 

Welcome to the forums!

 

I changed the tuners on my Riviera (mini-humbucker version) to Grover Deluxe. I had drill to make the hole bigger for the new tuners. Was my first time drilling. Turned out good and the new tuners are great! :-)

Hello and Welcome!

Johnny,

 

I won't be of much help as I don't know what kind of tuners currently come on your guitar. If they are full size Grovers they are 10mm holes.

 

So I just thought I would chime in with a little info and a couple of links:

 

"The Kluson brand is a registered trademark, reg. # 1802680, owned solely by WD Music Products Inc. We are not an acquisition or an addition, nor are our tuners "obsolete" as witnessed by our re-issue of the spectacular Kluson Supers as shown below. Our tuners are authentic reproductions and are favorites of collectors worldwide."

 

That quote comes from here:

Tuners can be purchased here:

If you need adapter bushings to adjust larger holes to smaller:

If you want to talk to them to get hole size, tuner or bushing info:

If you want to see how I went from smaller holes to larger

(I did put up a few tips and tools)...here:

Hope others are of more help,
