• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Gibson Deluxe Kluson's a little loose feeling in the headstock hole?

Just curious if this is normal/acceptable?

Long story short, I had a set of Kluson's from a 2018 USA Les Paul Tribute, and recently came into a 2019 USA Standard body. I went to install the tuners into the new 2019 thinking they're likely the same but they are a bit loose in the hole. I measured and the tuners are 10 mm but the holes in the Standard are 10.25 mm. Once I snug everything up they don't move, but I just didn't know if they were suppose to be snug in there before the screws were tightened or if a little play was alright?

Thanks

What tuners were on the guitar previously? Grover's require a larger diameter hole. There are conversion bushing available, if this is the case.
