Absolutely! A big Phillips screw is a give away as well...

kluson went awol in the late '60's so these could be original although when they were made for manufacturers, they were usually not named by schaller or would have the name of the guitar company that purchased them such as gibson etc. these could be original or not ?

Any name stamped/printed/inscribed is a red flag, as is the visible Phillips securing the post.

Plain and slotted only for this vintage!
