"Gibson needs to improve these tuners!"

Feature:
They look nice and vintage but they don't keep your guitar in tune all that well.

Quality:
They look pretty, but aren't very practical/functional.

Value:
get yourself some tuners that actually work (NOT THESE)

Desirability:
They look nice, but I don't want tuners that don't do what they are meant to do.

Sound:
I have these tuners on a Gibson Les Paul Custom, and this guitar tends to go out of tune more than any other guitar I've EVER owned...I should get better tuners...I would play my Les Paul more if it weren't for these lousy(EXPENSIVE!) tuners...

Support:
I'm not sure about Gibson's support, but they really should improve these tuners.

Overall:
If you want to get a vintage vibe on your guitar, these will get you "the look", but iff you also want to have a guitar that stays in tune as well, then look at other tuners.

"Buy And Epiphone!"

Feature:
As a Gibson authorized repairman, I called the company about these tuners. After a long distance runaround, I was told the Gibson guitars weren't for players, they were for collectors, if I wanted a guitar that played well, and stayed in tune, buy an Epiphone. I immediately resigned as a Gibson repairman, and won't ever endorse their products again. I have a 68 Les Paul Custom with black tape over the Gibson logo. The company has become a cash cow for the new owners.

Quality:
Sadly, with the amount of money paid for it, it should be better. The finish looks like it was sprayed on by a spastic. The wood underneath was not silexed, so the grain shows thru, and I'm not pleased with the overall quality.

Value:
A two thousand dollar guitar should be a thing to be proud of. I set it next to my 68 and just shake my head sadly.

Desirability:
It looks good from a distance.

Sound:
Although these tuners look vintage, they suck. They are prone to slipping incrementally, causing the guitar to go out of tune very quickly. I have a set in a coffee can in my shop. I went to gotoh tuners which at least stay in tune. And before anyone says I am not winding the strings correctly, I am a luthier, and restring guitars daily. When a product fails to work, the company should do something about it, instead of trading on the past to rake in more profits.

Ease of Use:
After dressing the frets, adjusting the intonation, and replacing the tuners, my Les Paul rocks. I have also had to replace the pick-up selector switch, and one volume control is scratchy.

Support:
I couldn't even turn in a bill for the repairs, and this was a brand new guitar. "That's how they are made now" was Gibson's response

Overall:
It mostly sits in it's overpriced case in the closet. I could not, with a clear conscience, resell it for even half of what I paid for it.
