Vintage Gibson J-45 tuner replacement
Hello fellow acoustic guitar fans!
I am looking for ideas as to what to replace the old tuners on my 1955 Gibson J-45. The plastic knobs have bit the dust, so to speak. Crumbling, which I understand does happen. I would prefer to have a direct replacement for the 3-in-a-row tuners, and see that there is a possible contender with the Kluson 3-On-Plate Deluxe Series, as offered by StewMac. The specs state that it would be for a 1956-1964 J-45 though, and mine is a 1955. Any ideas as to if that would drop in for a replacement? I know that there are other versions out there, but they would require drilling a few new screw holes in the head stock. The guitar is in very good condition, otherwise. Thanks in advance!
