Grovers on SGs?


Casino4Life

Recommended Posts

The only thing that bugs me is the screw holes that are left over when you remove the deluxe tuners, and attach a set of Grovers. I think it looks terrible. The tuners are great though. I have a set of them on my Epiphone acoustic (it came with them on it).

I changed to 18:1 grovers on my SG Standard....they dropped right in and the screw holes lined up perfectly (only one screw needed with the grovers) ... I like the look and the functionality better......the stock tuners to me look cheap and " plasticy " JMO mind you.

Yea it has made the Casino neck heavy, but someone said using a suede strap helps prevent that?

 

A suede or leather strap will do a better job of helping to keep the guitar in place than a nylon strap will. I don't mind a nylon strap when sitting down, but when standing nylon straps just slide on my shoulder. Since the SG is a lighter guitar than a LP a suede strap is, IMHO, the better choice.

 

Levy's makes some great leather and suede straps.

I have to agree..If you have neck heavy problems, a wide leather strap is a great way to cure most of that...they last for decades, too and I think they are far more comfortable.
