## Description

Gibson Vintage Nickel Machine Heads with Pearloid Buttons

Review: They're gorgeous, They're Gibson! - So I have a 1938 Gibson ES-150. It's an heirloom that's been in the family since new. I inherited it 30 years ago and never played it because two of the bakelight tuning pegs had basically disintegrated over the years. I did not want to harm the value of the guitar's originality. I finally concluded that I was keeping it until I hand it off to my heirs, so what the hell, I want to play this thing. I kept the original tuners, of course, but went ahead and bought and installed these. Be advised, like other reviewers have said, the posts are thicker and may require some filing or drilling. That said, they are gorgeous once installed. They match the guitar's look perfectly. Functionally they are outstanding. They're smooth and, so far, have kept my guitar in tune. Only typical re-tuning is required (like any new strings) when played enough. Thanks Gibson, for reproducing these. I hear echoes of my old man and grand-dad now that I'm playing the ES150 again!
Review: Nice looking machines, great accuracy, correct replacements for my Les Paul - Very nice machines. Smooth and accurate. Very hardy, work great ... fast shipping!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will these fit on a epiphone sg special?**
A: Yes, but, the screw hole mount spacing is slightly different but workable. the farrell hole size to fit the Gibson's need a slight reeming to fit the the threaded insert into the head stock, and finally the peg stem is slightly shorter and does not affect function. worth doing!

**Q: are gibson parts made in china?**
A: Could be china or maybe korea... Indonesia even with nice usa locking tuners none of my Gibson's Will stay in tune. You can lube the nut till the cows come home and weld the strings permanently in place but you can never fix that break angle!

**Q: I have a 2012 sg standard with kluson deluxe tuners.  will they fit without any modification?  will these have a better ratio, i.e more turn to tune?**
A: Gibson Deluxe Tuners are actually made by made by Kluson right? Plus the gear ratio is like 14x1, or more....

**Q: Are these locking?**
A: These are standard non-locking Grover superrotomtics with the tulip/keystone buttons.

Very nice machines. Smooth and accurate. Very hardy, work great ... fast shipping!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Tuners!!
*by D***O on May 2, 2017*

These are excellent! What a difference! I refinished my Epiphone Les Paul and had some poorly made tuners put on it (I didn't know how bad they were at the time.) I could never keep it the guitar in tune for more than 1 song. After weeks of adjusting the neck and bridge, I thought maybe the tuner were the issue. I put these Gibson tuners on and the Les Paul has been perfect. Plus I love the vintage look. I HIGHLY recommend these - awesome for the price!
