Tuner UpGrade

[ChasFred]

So on the Epi ES-335, which I love, it did have cheesey tuners. Ok not great.
So for Christmas I asked the wife for a set of the Kluson Revolution non locking tuners, and she got them for me.
I have the same tuners on my SG except the SG has the locking version. They have a 19:1 tuning ratio which I really like.

Excellent upgrade!

The Epi 335/339 guitars are excellent, but tuners, nuts and bridges can be a weakness.

Perfect, looks unmolested.
And the Klusons look a lot more stout that the stockers.
Especially the button shaft.

Yes the screw holes lined up perfect. I did have to enlarge the main tuner hole though.
The old tuners were uncollared with push in bushings. Klusons I got were collared with screw in bushings.
Kluson has then uncollared also but I feel these are better.

I just happen to have a metric step drill bit set, so enlarging the hole to 10mm was not an issue at all.
