Pretty Good
These were an exact fit for my Ibanez AM73 tuners, using all original hardware. This means these will fit Gotoh tuners as well. They weigh much less than the butter bean style they replaced. To brass tacks then: do they make my budget AM73 look like a vintage ES335? No, not really. The ‘real’ ones have a translucent aspect, and these are a bit on the lumpen, dull green side. Plasticky or maybe ‘ivory-like’ and not translucent at all. Still, when I’m rocking’ out at a gig in front of a crowd - read: ‘playing by myself in the basement’, it does look Ok. Plus, for like 10 bucks?! Added bonus: came with a little baggie containing shaft spacer rings/lock washers and screws for other projects.

Nope, nope, nope
Look great but does not fit a Grover and any other style I have. May eventually drill the holes open but for now it’s been a waste of money

Too small
Well, I knew I was taking a bit of a chance and sure enough, the hole is too small and doesn't fit. I got these to try to lighten up the neck of an SG, and they weigh only about 1.6g per peg, while the metal pegs weigh 12.6g. If these fit I would have lightened up the neck by 66g, which works out to about 0.6Nm of torque. that is significant. Now looking for an alternative.

You mileage may vary on fitment.
I wanted the vintage "Kluson" type tuners for my SG-style Stewmac kit. The kit came with modern sealed tuners and the headstock holes were drilled to 10.5mm. Vintage style tuners will not work without adapter bushings which are ridiculously priced for 6 little pieces of metal... not to mention they may not fit right since there seems to be 0.5-1.0mm variance brand to brand on busing O.D. So I though I'd try just replacing the tuner buttons from the big chrome ones to these vintage style plastic tulip shaped ones. They look nice and look pretty close to the vintage style now. See photo comparing my Epiphone Les Paul. They are a little smaller, and just a wee bit more yellowish-green than the real ones.Fitment was kind of an issue. They have holes with flat spots to fit over the machined shaft on the tuner. They are too small. Luckily, since they are plastic, I used a drill bit that just fit into the hole and rocked it back and forth to machine down the flat spot enough so the buttons fit over the shaft. Took some trial and error and I left them pretty tight, enough so that I had to tap them on with a small hammer... but be careful doing this since they are plastic and can split in half. I wanted them as tight though since if I drilled them too loose they would not turn the shaft, regardless if the screw was holding it in tight. The flat spot is there so the button can apply torque to the shaft, so if you drill it to a loose fitting round hole, the button will just spin on the shaft even with the screw being tight.I'm giving this 4 stars because they are nice, but not perfect. Perhaps these fit better on different brands of tuning machines. It would be nice if this stuff isn't more standardized. There is also a visible nubbon where it was broken free from the sprue, as all injection molded parts will have. Despite minor issues, they are a good, cheap alternative to swapping in some Grover 135N tuners, or going through the hassle of finding the right bushing for vintage style tuners.

A+ Would recommend
Looks great! Had to do some filing to make them fit my Grover tuners on my LP but worth the effort!

Worthless!
The picture clearly shows a hole drilled through for the retaining screw. This is not the case. This item is useless as a replacement for peg buttons. Picture is false advertising.

Forget these ..
These blow. Smaller than expected and they don't fit on my Grovers. Who the heck wants to have to file them? Not worth it. The color makes them look like cheapies too.

Have the look I wanted without drilling for Kluson Deluxe
I've had a lot of Gibson's, but these years they've been switching over the Grover locking tuners. I've never had them before and kind of like them now...well except the kidney bean heads/buttons. I like the look of Kulson ones and on a Les Paul I bought the previous owner switched them over to Gibson deluxe but he destroyed the head stock drilling into it and the clear coat pushed up on certain spots. I got a 2017 SG standard T and was afraid of going through the same nightmare. Then searching for the chrome tulip buttons saw these!If you get them they are small and don't fit. Like user ScotWithOne_t I modified mine to fit by using a small triangleFLAT file. I worked one for about 5 mins of filing. Once I got it sort of snug onto the post - and it grabbed at least 2-4mm of it - I used a screw that comes with the kit (longer then stock) then started tightening it down SLOWLY. This will push the button onto the post. All in all they look good; I didn't have to buy an expensive set or drill into my guitar. I got the vintage green ones, but the beige ones look cool too.

La imagen del instrumento cambia bastante!
Excelente producto, solo verifiquen bien la medida de las clavijas, por que no encaja muy bien en algunos modelos y hay que modificarlas un poco. Aun así excelente producto
