Fretboard inlays,
The stock tuners were Gibson GForce, very heavy for a Gibson SG, I installed a set of KLUSON Revolution, they are very light, ratio is 19/1 and the keys are very smooth.

I love this guitar, finish is perfect, inlays are made with real MOP, not plastic, nut is adjustable (Graphtech), potentiomrters are push pull for single sounds, etc...

This is a 2016 SG '61 Reissue Proprietary Limited Edition, the body is made with one piece of high grade mahogany, hardware is nickel, the bridge is a real Gibson ABR-1 screwed into the body like Custom Shop models.

The best tuners for an SG are the KLUSON Revolution, they are light, ratio is 1/19, knobs are very smooth but the design is better for a modern Gibson.
