Thanks Brian, Chris and Dan. I heard back from the guy and he's going with the Schaller M6. I figured he would, I've setup 7 guitars for him and he's a player not a poser

| Post subject: | Replacement Tuners for Les Paul Studio Special |
I've got a guitar from one of my pro clients back in the shop and he wants the tuners replaced. It's a Les Paul Studio Special that has no vintage value and, in a previous life, had the finish sanded off so it's just a working tool he uses mostly in the clubs in Nashville. Looks like Kluson, Grover and Gotoh all have vintage style tuners but being an acoustic guy I would be guessing. Hope you guys can help me provide him some options for a good precise tuner, not sure if he wants locking or not. Thanks |

My personal preference as a player and a luthier is Schaller. The M6 is the best at any price. |

I'm with Brian. If you can't find them, Gotoh makes some good stuff, too. |

Thanks Chris, I like Gotoh too, I use their open gear tuners on acoustics. I'll pass the info on and he can make his choice. |

I’ve used several sets of the Grover keys. The 135N set look just like the Klusons with plastic keys. These have the ferrules pressed in from the top. I like them because they are lightweight. I used these to replace tuners on an American SG, perfect fit, and I did not have to use the new ferrules. I’m never disappointed with Grover. Edit: I received a new set of 135 tuners. Grover has changed the ferrules to washers and threaded bushings. I don’t know if these are a direct replacement on Gibson guitars. Dan |
