You know those tuners that Fender puts on their vintage series strats, the ones where you put in the slotted holes on top and then wrap around? Those things are great and stay in tune nicely. Well, is something like that available for Les Pauls?

Re: Vintage Top Hole Tuners For Les Paul?
They're Kluson clones. They are decent tuners, as you said. But whether the string goes down the middle or goes through the post doesn't matter. Just get Kluson repros. The kind with the stamped covers, not the blocky looking cast covers that you see on many Gibsons (which are terrible tuners IME).
I don't think I've ever seen 3L/3R Klusons with keystones and the hole down the middle of the post. If you have to have them with the string down the middle, then you can probably custom order them from Gotoh in 3L/3R configuration with keystone buttons.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

Check out guitar fetish. They might have them (they also have the conversion bushing, probably less expensive too). I also really like those vintage Fender tuners, but if you can't find them, you can get good locking tuners from GF for cheap.Last edited by Myaccount876; 07-02-2012, 10:03 PM.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
