Hello. I just bought and Epiphone Les Paul. I'd like to put Grover tuners on it, but I'm afraid that they won't fit. Does anyone have any experiece with this? Would they fit or would I have to drill? I really don't have to have to drill or route out my new guitar. The tuning pegs aren't horrible, but I think grovers would be a bit better. Any thoughts?

Re: Grover Tuners
Yes, they will have to be drilled out. I would recommend taking it to a luthier that way if he cracks the headstock it will be on his nickel to replace the guitar.

Re: Grover Tuners
FWIW....My new Guild D-55 came with Grovers. They are the smoothest tuners I've ever had! You will enjoy them....I think I'm gonna get a set for my Epi LP Custom!

Re: Grover Tuners
I hate Grovers. My G string on my Les Paul Standard CONSTANTLY goes out of tune... pisses me off. When I get the money and make some other needed purchases, locking tuners will be on the listOriginally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.

Re: Grover Tuners
I have Grover locking tuners in my SG. They're terrific. Check the diameter of the current holes in your guitar against the specs for the Grovers (look on the Stewart-McDonald website for the Grover info). You might not have to drill. The Grovers fit the Gibson SG holes perfectly.

Re: Grover Tuners
Grovers came stock on my schecter and I love them. They stay pretty well in tune, and are so smooth. I've heard alot about the G string on les pauls going out of tune, I don't think it would be the tuners but locking tuners will probably solve that. Maybe a graphite nut would be a good investment to try.Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 Head!

Re: Grover Tuners
I use the Grover Standard 18:1 tuners on all my LP Standards, and I have no tuning problems at all. I just keep the guitars properly setup, and they're fine.Only The Strong Survive
