    I think they are Gotoh. Check out allparts.com. Do they have the amber buttons? allparts has those too. If you need help ordering them let me know.

    You could get some 6 in line, there are Kluson types Ala Fenders guitars,
    that the 4 middle ones 2 share the same screw, between them, but are separate.
    the 2 end ones are made a little different, a Look, as if they were on the same strip, but they arent, so you can leave one of the middle ones off,
    and all is looking OK.
