Pearl Tuner buttons for Grovers and how would this look?

[BloodRose]

First, anyone know where I can get pearl tuning buttons for Grover keys? Ive found them for Schallers and others, but cant find em for grovers.

Also, how they look on this guitar? good? tacky? Im undecided

Leave it alone. Pearl buttons don't belong on a superstrat.

I think white ones the same colour as the body would look awesome. Take them off and get your local shop to spray them white. :headbang::headbang:
My shadow has some fancy buttons on it and i love them they really make the guitar that bit more special.

Do you mean pearloid (as in 'plastic') or real pearl ? I got a set of real pearl buttons to fit Schallers from an Ebay seller, but of course they weren't cheap. ('Rothesay Music' IIRC).

For pearloid, i found this ...

Yeah, this is why Im on the fence. Want it to look bad a, but not cheesy. But I loved the look of the old Kramer Richie Sambora.

Thanks Crusty! Prolly pearloid as Im sure I cant afford pearl.

Yeah, you really got me now. I was awaiting a counter argument, and yours is a really good one.

Still, I don't think they'd harmonize with the SoCal's black hardware and dot inlays.

Cool - but not on that strat. Purple metal - that would e killer....

Are we talking US-made Grovers (Imperial) or SE Asian made (Metric)? The shaft sizes are different.

They certainly have to be on the right guitar. Jake E Lee's white "Charvel" has them, but when you are JEL, you can do whatever you want.

How can one tell? Im guessing they are Asian made as the guitar was made in Japan.
