FT: Grovers, WTTF: Klusons

Tex Mexico

I have a set of Grover roto-grip tuners in chrome with tulip buttons. They're on my brand new Les Paul and are therefore in excellent condition. They're the ones with the thumb-wheel on the back.

I want to trade them for a set of Gibson/Kluson tuners with pearloid tulips, i.e. the ones that used to come with Gibson Les Pauls. In really good condition, ideally. Nickel/chrome finish please.

No cash adjustment required (mine are about 75% more expensive than yours but I don't mind). Each pay our own postage. Based Preston, Lancs.

Bump?

Loobs

If only they were gold. BTW, you want to put this in the classifieds. 

Tex Mexico

Ah yeah. Sorted, cheers!

FelineGuitars

@Felineguitars - Think he meant he had moved it to the classifieds

Tex Mexico

@felineguitars, No I still need tuners, I meant I'd sorted the right forum.

FelineGuitars

Doh! Silly me.....

Do you need ones that have the bolt down collars- think these have a double ring on the tulip base

Or the classic push in bushing (it's these that I have 2 sets of ) 

You may need a conversion bushing for the front of headstock if the guitar is drilled for a bigger size hole

Tex Mexico

Aah I see. The ones on there currently are the bolt-down Grover ones, would I need conversion bushings for the ones you have, do you know?

FelineGuitars

You'll either need a bolt down variety of the Kluson style tuner that Gibson used for years - or a superior replacement set from a company like Tonepros who do a bolt version as well as the classic style with ferrules.

The Gibson branded sets I have are the vintage reissue style that have the ferrule rather than the bolt fitting , although we keep both varieties in the Tonepro Kluson range which are brand new stock.

These are the traditional ferrule version ( also similar to the Gibson sets I have)
