I have a new 60s Gibson Les Paul standard unburst with the silver/nickel Grover tuners, and I bought the 60s because of the thinner neck and thepickups. But I really want the old 50s style Klusion tuners with the greenish yellow vintage keystone endings (not sure what called). But I don’t want to drill the new guitar.

Does anyone sell exact replacements with no drilling that look like the 50s tuners?

Boom! Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

Any idea what’s involved in switching them out with the originals? Since they’re both grovers, maybe I just unscrew one screw and slide out the old and slide in the new? Or do I have to remove the bushings and all that stuff too? I’m hoping it’s really simple without having to hammer something out of the head stock

I like Grover 135 tuners. They look more like the old Klusons and are lighter than Rotomatics. Stay in tune great too.
