Epi goldtop machine heads.

Hei!

I've gotten some really good advice from this forum so here goes:
I am thinking about getting some new machine heads to my goldtop but i'm not that euphoric about reaming out the tuner holes. I'd really want to put some vintage looking machine heads. Can anyone help me pick out some vintage looking machine heads that fit the goldtop without making any changes to the headstock.

That's not chrome. That's nickel. They also come in gold.

Re: Epi goldtop machine heads.

Whatever you get don't buy the Wilkinson vintage type, I broke a black Epi tuner and tried to keep the black out thing going, they were the only ones that made a black vintage tuner. Talk about loose and only after a few changes.
Get the modern type, forget the looks, go for the function man.
