Grover Keystone Tuners Anyone

matthornet · 03-10-2009, 12:20 PM

Guys, I cant seem to find them! Grover Keystone Rotomatic. Really ain't a fan of the kidney tuner buttons. Anyone know where to get them? Best is if I could just get the keystone buttons

Google gave me these:

GROVER ROTOMATIC TUNING MACHINES WITH KEYSTONE BUTTONS - Elderly Instruments

Is that what you were looking for?

TWANG · 03-10-2009, 02:52 PM

I can get 'em for ya.
just got a set of the green button types.. very nice!
I believe I can get you just the buttons, too.. they should fit your grovers perfect.
come with screws.

cool how do I deal with you on this? just the buttons would be great!

(future)GibsonRocker · 03-10-2009, 06:10 PM

I love those type, the kidney's are too cheap looking, and these have just enough class to look good, but without having to have the coloured buttons, so they go with more.

TWANG · 03-12-2009, 10:23 AM

I'm ordering keystones today.. tuners or buttons.. if anyone's interested.

TWANG

hog000 · 03-12-2009, 06:29 PM

If I could do a button only change only on the Grovers on my Elitist, I'd be in for that.

TWANG · 03-13-2009, 01:55 AM

hog you can.. I'm ordering some tomorrow.. pm me if you want, I'll give you a price check and shipping charge.
tell me what country you're in though.. Canada etc.. costs a bit more to ship. but not much!

TWANG · 03-14-2009, 12:09 AM

I ordered on extra set....

qwank · 03-14-2009, 10:28 AM

TWANG,

do they make the tulip buttons in black? i can't find black tulips anywhere.

TWANG · 03-14-2009, 06:16 PM

I'm checking right now.
ha.nope. gold and chrome.
I'll keep looking..
darn. none of my suppliers have black.

TWANG

qwank · 03-15-2009, 10:35 AM

didnt think so. i couldnt find them either. i thought i saw black Gotohs with tulips on an ESP, but i cant find those either.

i might just do black tuners with gold tulips. i havnt seen anyone mix and match yet.

TWANG · 03-15-2009, 06:35 PM

I think I've got a set of gold tulips..
I had a guy who wanted imperial buttons so I took these off..

in a box around here somewhere. *L*

KP · 03-15-2009, 09:44 PM

Once you know for sure if the buttons are interchangeable with the stock tuners, let us know.. I will be ordering a set from you then.

TWANG · 03-15-2009, 10:28 PM

The allparts guy says he's sending me two sets of keystones in chrome that are direct change with grovers.
I'll add another set tomorrow and they'll get it on this shipment.
pm me for payment details.

thanks

KP · 03-19-2009, 06:25 PM

Hey Twang... your PM mailbox is full.

TWANG · 03-19-2009, 08:22 PM

I fixed it!

KP · 03-26-2009, 06:02 PM

Ok... I got my buttons from Twang. The damn screws I have are too short. Does anyone know the thread size for the button screws on a stock Epi Les Paul with Grovers?

TWANG · 03-26-2009, 06:56 PM

Freaks me out. they fit on my dove just right.

do you have med size grovers? so the button is shorter?

I'll score you some screws.. you must have smaller buttons on yours.. and my dove has full size.

Yeah... the buttons are shorter... got you PM and answered it. Thanks

hog000 · 04-04-2009, 02:39 PM

So does anybody know the thread size of the Grover screw?

Thanks

TWANG · 04-04-2009, 08:43 PM

screws on the way..should be here monday.
TWANG
I'll check at the hardware store for the the size.

qwank · 04-04-2009, 08:44 PM

hey TWANG, just wondering, can you get black tulip knobs for GOTOH tuners by any chance? since they dont have them for grovers. i'm pretty sure i saw some for Gotoh but i cant find them

KP · 04-14-2009, 05:43 PM

Okay... after a short wait for the proper screws... here she is with the new keystones...

The_Sentry · 04-14-2009, 06:00 PM

Sweet....

BTW....the Gibson Modern Machine heads are the grovers with the keystone heads in case anyone just wants something out of the box that's a direct drop in...

Looks great!....I'm still waiting for my screws. Should receive them shortly, once I install my keystones I'll post my pics.

nwobhm · 04-15-2009, 10:17 PM

I'm a tradtionalist when it comes to grovers. I love the kidney beans. I like the feel of the round edges. They didn't look cheap to me on Jimmy Page's Burst.

My 79' Les Paul KM Came stock with them just didn't like the sharp corners.
