My order from Stewmac arrived today.

Replaced the tuners on my Les Paul with gold keystone Gotohs 18:1.

Probably one of the easiest DIY there is.

    I just ordered the Grover Locking tuners to put into my Les Paul, I'm hoping they fit with a minimum of modification to the guitar. Did you have to drill the joles any larger, or did the Gotohs fit in?

    The Gotohs fit right in, suprisingly...

    They're essentially the same aestically as before; keystone tuners, but with a higher winding ratio. I think that the generic parts that were on the guitar are based on these.

    I think with Les Paul's most of the 3 right, 3 left tuners will fit in place.

    I'm happy I didn't have to get holes drilled though, as it would have cost a ton probably.

    The shop I go to charges $35.00 to install tuners, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense if they don't have to drill to do it.

    Like I said, it's a really really easy DIY. Just screw it in, get it flush, and add the locking washer and (bolt?).
