What tuner buttons do you think look best on a Gibson headstock?

[Rex_Rocker]

Trying to decide what final touches to give my hot-rodded Tribute.

What do you like best on a LP headstock?

• Kluson-style tulips
• Grover-style kidneys
• Grover-style keystones
• Schaller-style M6's
• Something else?

 

[JMP/HBE]

lemme see the guitar.

 

[beaubrummels]

Yeah, some Gibsons look best with Grover Imperials.

Edit: ah, the blacked out one? Kidneys would look fine on that one.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

lemme see the guitar.

Right now, it has Grover-style metal keystones. But I'm not 100% sold.

 

[SlyFoxx]

Those look fine to me.

 

[chadd]

None of them really do much for me in black, but I'd go with what you're currently rocking and wouldn't change what you have.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

I guess I could also consider white ovals LP Junior-style. My guitar does have a Junior-ish color scheme, in the end.

 

[JB_From_Hell]

I put tuilp-style Gotohs on my PRS, love them. I don't hate the Grovers on my Studio, but I may end up swapping the Gotohs onto it.

I wouldn't change out the Gotohs in my guitar, but I would swap the tips.

There are those in black if I wanted to keep the whole blackout scheme.

Or white for some contrast and to match the nut and lettering on the poker chip and knobs.

 

[JB_From_Hell]

^ those black tulips are sick.

 

[Rex_Rocker]

I honestly feel more comfortable with plastic tuner tips because a. they're lighter (less neck dive) and b. I don't feel like I'm leaving my dirty fingerprints all over them all the time, LOL.

 

[Mincer]

I'd go for black Steinberger style, and really stealth it out.

I like those to be honest.

Are those like the one on the Keith Merrow sig?

 

[Chistopher]

I like those to be honest.

I agree. The industrial tuner button from Hipshot could also look pretty good if you're into less traditional looks.

 

[Seashore]

The current ones are way better than kidneys, not super duper different from tulips overall, and with the whole blackout thing I think white would look weird. I say keep em unless they feel bad.

 

[Mincer]

No, no, no.
Like this.

Here they are on a PRS.

These things are cool

I really dislike the factory Gibson plastic fake jade ones. They belong on a banjo. I prefer chrome ones, but that’s just me.
