Kluson SD90SLN Tuners for Gibson, 3 Per Side, Nickel/Pearl

Kluson tuning machines have a storied history, having adorned numerous vintage Gibson guitars such as the Les Paul, SG, and ES 335, among others. These tuning machines are not only found on classic models but also on the Epiphone Casino and the current production runs of Epiphone's Les Paul and G 400 (SG) models. This particular style of Kluson tuners serves as a perfect direct replacement for all recent reissues of Gibson guitars from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as other series that utilize vintage-style individual tuning machines.

Included in this kit are six individual tuners, with three tuners mounted per side, designed without a base plate for a streamlined look. The complete set encompasses all necessary hardware, including bushings and mounting screws. It's essential to note that if you're retrofitting a vintage instrument that has undergone modifications, or if you plan to install these vintage-style Kluson tuners on a more modern guitar, you may need to acquire "adapter bushings" separately. These bushings will help convert larger peg holes to the vintage size, ensuring a proper fit and optimal functionality.

Historically, these guitar tuners have been featured on several iconic models, including: - 1958 and 1959 Gibson Flying V - 1958 and 1959 Gibson ES 345 - 1956 to 1959 Gibson ES 295 - 1956 to 1959 Gibson J 200 - 1956 to 1959 Gibson ES 350 - 1956 to 1959 ES 5 - 1957 Gibson Explorer Prototype Futura - 1959 Epiphone Crestwood Deluxe

The original Kluson tuners provide a distinctive aesthetic, aligning with the high-quality craftsmanship associated with these instruments. Featuring three tuners on each side, these nickel and pearl tuners are tailored for models such as the Gibson ES-330 and the Epiphone Casino, sporting 1/4" tuning pegs. Along with the tuners, the set includes 3/8" bushings and the required screws for installation.

In summary, if you're seeking to restore or enhance your guitar with authentic vintage-style Kluson tuning machines, this kit has everything you need for a straightforward installation. Whether working with a classic Gibson model or a current Epiphone, you can achieve that coveted vintage vibe while ensuring proper tuning precision. Remember to check the peg hole sizes on your instrument to determine if additional adapter bushings are necessary, paving the way for the ideal fit and performance. With these Kluson tuners, you not only ensure functionality but also embrace a piece of guitar history that resonates with musicians and collectors alike.
