I came across a set of 6 vintage Kluson Deluxe tuners and would like to know if anyone can provide me with the approximate date or timeframe when these Klusons were made. They came off an old Kay acoustic guitar, but I have no idea how old the Kay is. See photos below.









Does anyone recognize this style of Kluson tuners?

Thanks Max! Looks like mine are the Version 7 tuners.

Evidently they were installed on 1965 - 1969 SG, ES and Les Pauls. With the smaller rounded buttons, it's likely these are identical to those installed on ES-330 guitars from the period. The rest of the tuner is identical to those with the keystone buttons.
