Grovers will add a bit of sustain, though (more mass @ heasdtock = more sustain)... but not enough that I´d switch htm for it.... I personally don´t mind the Klusons and they´ve served me well...

Grover makes a vintage Gibson style tuner that I believe is a direct replacement.

They have the same rectangular shape to the gearbox and the plastic tulip buttons. But the gearbox is diecast like all the Grovers, as opposed to stamped steel like the original Gibson/Kluson. They look almost identical including the printing on the back, which says "Grover Deluxe" instead of "Gibson Deluxe".
I ordered some for my Epi '58 Flying V replica. I'll let you know if they're any good as soon as I install them.

I hated the plastic Kluson tuners that Gibson puts on some of their guitars. I took 'em out and had a pro tech put on some Sperzel locking and haven't looked back (holes have to be drilled, but its worth it to fit good tuners like Sperzel, Gotoh, Grover, Planet Waves etc.).
