I bought a used Revelation RX62 (SG style guitar) off Gumtree for a bargain price (£50 with amp). The person was selling cheaply as she had lost one of the tulip buttons of the machine head. I've seen on eBay that replacement buttons can be bought very cheaply but wonder if they will work on all the different Kluson style tuners?
Or am I better changing the machine heads completely?
If I were to go the way of changing them completely, do they tend to be a standard size, i.e. will the holes match up?
Without paying silly prices are there any recommendations?
Sorry for what is probably a numpty question but I've not been playing long (less than 12 months) and this is my first electric, so on a learning curve.
Cheers
Simon

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youhttp://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Hardware_Installation/Replacing_damaged_tuner_knobs.html
If you do end up wanting to replace them, you'll need to measure the diameter of the posts that go through the headstock.
It might be a worthwhile upgrade to consider - perhaps along with a pro setup at the same time to get it playing nice and sweet
I'd also like to thank Gazz at Revelation/Sutherland Trading as he has been able to proved a replacement machine head free of charge. Great customer service!
