Ngd! Cs-336

db3266 · 02-04-2011, 03:39 AM

I got this yesterday.

My camera is rubbish, but I have tried to capture to top as best I can. It's even more stunning in the flesh, the grain really pops.

Tangerine Burst.

I also grabbed some Grovers off the rack when I bought the guitar, but now realise the headstock needs reeming because it has the Deluxe Tuners. Not sure whether to put the Grovers on or not?

Congrats, what a beauty!

Say no to the Grovers. Leave it stock.

db3266 · 02-04-2011, 04:11 PM

hmmm. I've been thinking about it all day and still can't decide. I put grovers on my LP (18:1 rotomatics) and prefer them over the Klusons. The grovers I have for the CS are tulip style knobs and I think 14:1 ratio? they came in the Gibson packaging.

If the holes are reemed out to the correct diameter and depth, the mod is reversible, I could put the stock items back on if I ever wanted to. I would not do the reeming myself, I would have a guitar tech to it.

Can anyone help me pin down the specs of the CS-336?

Specifically, is the tailpiece the light weight alluminium version and is the wiring vintage spec with bumble bee caps?

Beautiful guitar, congrats!

Keep the klusons!

Beautiful! She is stunning!

I did add the Grovers, I am pleased I did, they look and feel much better than the Klusons.
