Epiphone tuners

[cobhc]

Strange request i know, but does anyone have any silver epiphone tuners lying around that i could buy off them/know where i can get some, i need one off each side, ie both a low and high e tuner, don't really wanna buy a whole new set, and i dont wanna buy cheap replacements as i wanna keep the guitar as close to original as possible.

thanks in advance if anyone can help me

Why keep it as close to original as possible?

An Epiphone doesn't retain any value.

Ream the holes and put some fucking Grovers on it.

Maybe then it will stay in tune.

1) insert new string
2) lock it on the back of the tuner with the thumbscrew
3) tune it to pitch
4) THERE IS NO 4! IT CUT THE STRING FOR YOU!!! ready to rawwwwwwwwwwk

Better than Grover locking tuners?

Better than Grover locking tuners?

Or the Sperzel / Schaller locking (said to be very good around here) tuners?

Another vote for a set of Grover locking tuners here, even the shitty ones on my guitarists PRS Tremonti SE hold their tuning amazingly.

anyone know which tuners will fit a les paul without making the holes bigger?

sorry to harp on.... but the planet waves ones!!
you stick them in the hole and do up a screw... job done!
