goldtop1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Scenario - A consumer buys a Les Paul at Guitar Center and a couple of small screws were missing from the tuning machines. The issue went unnoticed until months after the purchase. So there would only be one screw in two of the tuning machines. ? Have a guitar tech repair it or get warranty info from Gibson? Or not a big deal improvise? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Simply take it to a tech, Schaller Tuners are common and most luthiers would have these screws spare, in my case I was given them for FREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were Kluson Deluxe tuners. Your claiming these screws are the same as Schaller screws? Because if these screws are not identical what the logical explanation would be to replace all of them so they match. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that work out for ya? Does every guitarist wrap the strings around the stopbar than rest em on the bridge? Seems logical since that's the way it was originally done in 52' but most music stores have there's set up differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Gibson Deluxe where originally made by Schaller, their now made by Planet Waves (D'addario) but their the same spec so I've always called them Schallers for that reason. Hmm apart from the Tech route these kind of screws are hard to come by, if the tech doesn't have them or can't order them in. You could go back to the GuitarCentre and ask them to order them in. not sure what else I can surgest... The Wrap around the tailpiece is a preference thing and requires height adjustment to stop the strings coming off. I did it after being inspired by Joe Bonamassa. The ORIGINAL Les paul had the strings UNDER the taipiece, it evolved over time to what we have now but the all in one bridge tailpiece is still popular but it has intonation issues because of its all in 1 nature...

btoth76 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hello! I have them mismatched from the factory on my 50's Tribute. Most of them have "Grover Deluxe" script, except for one which says "Gibson Deluxe". It adds personality to the guitar. I will keep it like that. Cheers...
