it depends whether your stock vintage ones are from a low end copy or a Grover of Gotoh model of the vintage green key tuner.
Stew Mac has the Grover and Gotoh vintage green key tuners for sale, abt 100usd plus shipping for a set. They have different slot dimensions though good idea to check your slot size before ordering.
Usually even the generic cheap ass ones are quite decent, did you stretch your strings properly after your strung them. Cuz if you don't they defintely will go out of tune. if they go out of tune when you do big bends it might be because your nut is not properly cut and your strings are kinking on the nut. Old stale strings also won't hold their tune also they will sound somewhat off.
Anyway anyone has p90s in their les pauls? Just bought a pair of P94s to stick into my LP. Any p90 fans out there?
ciel21: yeah i do stretch my strings after i have strung them. i think the nut and everything is okay. just the last 2 tuners get detuned very easily after large bends. very irrtating. is there anywhere to get cheap green vintage tuners sold seperately instead of being in a set of 6?
Stop tail does allow you to adjust the tension a bit. raise it higher to get a looser feel, too high and there not much down angle u get some problems also fret buzz and such. Experiment on how high or low you want it. Some ppl believe that screwing it tight down is best for sustain but i dunno abt that different schools of thought.
I use a Craftsman. Although it was badly made when i bought it. I love the feel of the neck, it's not too fat like an LP but no too thin like a strat. It's a really fast neck. Everything was great but pickups were bad. So i changed them. I got an Alnico 2 pro humbucker at the neck and an Evolution bridge. Sounds great. I got the LP mostly because i thought it looked cooler than a strat. btw my Alnico 2 pro was inpsired by Slash
