What are the correct tuners on Lennons first ric?
I think it are the ones from grover and not the ones from gotoh (which are also more expensive).
But which ones from grover? The nickel or the chrome ones? The one wit press fit bushings or the ones wit hex bushings? The ones with a 14.1 ratio or the ones with a 18.1 ratio? Whats the differens between the horizontal ones and the vertical ones?
Which ones should I buy for my v59?

Grover Sta-tites are actually copies of original Waverly tuners, used from the 1920's by Gibson, Martin and many other US guitar manufacturers. The original Waverly Company of New York went out of business, but the name was resurrected in 1990 by the owners of Stewart-MacDonald Guitar Supply, who manufacture the current line of tuners in Montana.
