Members Acid Test Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Are there any that are drop-in replacements that use the same screw holes? I'd rather not have to put new holes in the guitar. The stock tuners are horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orourke Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's just a thought, but you might want to avoid putting locking tuners on an SG. They tend to be a bit heavier than the stock Klusons that usually come on an SG. It could increase the chance of a neck break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bubbluz Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 I doubt they would increase the chance of breaking the neck but the added weight will increase neck dive.Chances are the stock tuners are fine and the nut needs attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lowbrow Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Tone Pros does I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members irishstu Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's hard to find exact replacements for those, cos they're kinda traditional Kluson-style at the back, but modern enclosed tuners from the front. I do believe Tonepros do a good replacement. Stew Mac do (or did) some nice Kluson-style locking tuners, which you could use with conversion bushings (since the holes are 10mm due to the screw-in bushings, rather than the 9mm that Kluson would usually use).
