Hi guys - I hope I've posted this in the right place - but please feel free to move it if I haven't.
I have a 1990 LP Custom with gold Tulip Grovers that work beautifully. I also have a 2006 SG Standard that has the standard plastic tulip tuners, but I'm having tuning problems with them and am thinking of upgrading these. I don't want to do any drilling or create new holes - I'm looking for a good set that I can just 'drop-in' as a straight replacement. I've been pointed to Grover 135N Gibson Vintage Style Di-cast Guitar Tuners (- Nickel 3+3) that have a 14:1 gear ratio.
Does anyone have experience of these and are these significantly better than the stock SG machine-heads? I'm trying to find out what the gear ratios are in the Gibson standard tuners to compare - does anyone here know?
Finally, is there an alternative option for a straight drop-in set with a better ratio eg 16:1 or 18:1 that would help facilitate finer tuning?
Thanks guys!
Rich
