Kluson

collapse expand iconDescription

These Kluson tuning machines were used on vintage Gibson guitars such as the Les Paul, SG, ES-335 and others. They're also used on the Epiphone Casino and current Epiphone production of Les Paul and G-400 (SG) models. This model of Kluson tuning machines is also a direct replacement for all current reissue 50's and 60's Gibson production and other series that use a vintage style individual tuning machine. This kit comes with six individual tuners, 3 per side (that are not on a plate). All hardware including bushings and mounting screws are included in the set.

Please note: If you are retro-fitting a vintage instrument that has been modified or putting this vintage-style Kluson tuner on a modern instrument you may also need to purchase "adapter bushings" (sold separately) to convert a larger size peg hole to vintage size to allow for proper fit and function.

These guitar tuners were historically used on the following guitars:
1958 - 1959 Gibson Flying V
1958 - 1959 Gibson ES-345
1956 - 1959 Gibson ES-295
1956 - 1959 Gibson J-200
1956 - 1959 Gibson ES-350
1956 - 1959 ES-5
1957 Gibson Explorer Prototype Futura
1959 Epiphone Crestwood Deluxe

    These are a direct drop in replacement for an Epiphone Studio Pro Custom Shop. No drilling required. They are a lower profile and stamped Kluson. They hold their tuning well. They do look a little classier. I do like the antique white color better than the greenish color pegs that come with the Epiphone.

  • Perfect replacement for my Epi Les Paul

    Had to replace the machines on my Epi Les Paul. (Fell off a stand at a gig and hit the asphault. Bent one tuner.) These look better than the greenish-colored tuners that came stock, and they were super easy to install! So far they've held their position well, and the guitar sounds great as always!
