Thread: Grover Tuner Button Screws Needed

    Default Grover Tuner Button Screws Needed

    I play a 2007 Gibson F-5G. It has the stock nickel Grover tuners, and I've lost a tuner button screw. I can't seem to find a lead anywhere on a replacement. I've found several different types of Grover tuner button screws online but none that seem to match in finish or dimension. They're slotted with a brushed/matte finish but I'm unsure of the exact dimension. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    I would contact Dave Harvey at Gibson.

    Contact Dave Harvey or Danny Roberts at Gibson, the Gibson Customer Service folks will send you to All Parts or someplace where they don't have them. I got some for mine several years ago but I've helped out several people over the years and I'm down to just a few remaining. I also recall somebody actually getting some from Grover.

    Great suggestions. I broke a screw off on the underside of the tuner post once on a Gibson. Impossible to find. Went to a gunsmith after a suggestion; the gunsmith extracted the old screw, and replaced with same. Small screws are small screws after all, and one craft transferred to another. Best suggestion I could have received at the time. Good luck.

    Small wood screws maybe, threaded screws can come in all sizes and thread pitch.

    A good machine shop will have a tap and die for most any screw size. They could make screws for you. A couple of years ago I was repairing a guitar with a broken truss rod, couldn't find one like it so I went to a machine shop and they made me one for less than I could buy a truss rod and it was the same as what was originally in the guitar.
