Yep. Ive installed them on a lot of Gibson SG's to get rid of the heavy Grovers.

Hmmmmmm....

This guitar will have a mix of hardware, both gold and chrome, as its being built from items that i have on hand.

On the gold side, it has a gold switchcraft jack and gold Pure Tone jack and washers.

On the chrome side, it has chrome Wilkinson Green Key, Hollow-Post Tuners, a Genuine Gibson ABR-1 in chrome (with copper showing through) and a Faber TP-59 Aged Aluminum Tailpiece with Aged Steel Studs. It also has a brand new set of Gibson Silver Reflector Top Hats.

It will have no pickguard of any kind due to revised pickup locations.

I sanded them almost flush then mixed some glue and walnut sawdust and worked it in around the upper circumference. Letting that really dry and will then sand them flush working up to about 600 grit. Then re-drill the holes.
