Do Hipshot Knobs Fit Taylor Tuners?

['59]

I'm looking to replace the tuner knobs on my Taylor with Hotshots industrial knurled tuners. Does anyone know if it will be a direct fit?

Take the one on the Taylor off
The shaft should be a 3mm diameter
With a flat spot to make a "D" shape
I think all knobs are made to this standard

Most knobs anyways

Thanks. One other question, do I need nickel or chrome to match the tuners? This is what I have now:



Or maybe should I go black, for a two-toned tuner look?

Here's what the tuners look like if anyone cares to know.

If I were you changing those knobs would be way more than just changing the entire tuner

Chrome is a bit glossier than nickel
Nickel is just a shade more silver
Hard to see in your photos

You'll just have to judge
Order a set

Hold them up and see
If they ain't right
Swap em for the other

I'd recommend not risking it and just buying a whole new tuner. That way theres no risk of the colors not matching or something not quite fitting.

Replacing Grovers with anything other than Grovers is blasphemy

I'll take that into account in the future, but these are just generic no-name tuners at the moment. They hold tune fine, but they could be better.
