    Default Gibson tuner buttons?

    I am looking to get new tuner buttons (ivoroid) for my Gibson F5G Custom? Anyone know what kind of tuners they use and where to get replacement buttons? Thanks.

    Those tuners are Gibson Grover tuners made for Gibson by Grover well over 10 years ago. You aren't going to find replacement buttons for them unless Gibson has them. If you have a lost or broken button contact Dave Harvey at Gibson. His e-mail address is David.Harvey@gibson.com. You won't be able to get them from Grover and going through Gibson Customer Service won't get you anyplace. Regular Grover buttons won't fit it.

    Simplest is just get new tuners with the kind of buttons that pleases you.

    remove the old, install the new , they should drop right in..
