Tuner conversion - will these bushings work?

Post by Kyle »

I am looking to swap the tuners on my Ric 330 that I've been modding to give a more vintage look, so want to go for Klusons.

I've been looking at these ones on eBay, but am unsure if the conversion bushings they have for sale are the correct size.

Here's the bushings

Does anyone who has experience with this can tell me if these will work?

Yep, 10mm to 1/4" conversion bushings are what you need.

Most people prefer Gotoh to the new Klusons:
