WELCOME TO VINTAGE VIBES: GUITARS AND GOODS.

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Original vintage Gibson Deluxe “Double Line / Double Ring” tuners, sold as a LOT OF 4 (4pcs). These are the classic Kluson-style tuners commonly used on late-’60s to early/mid-’70s Gibson models (e.g., Les Paul / ES-335 style applications, depending on year/spec). Stamping includes GIBSON / DELUXE and PAT. D-169400 (see photos). Based on the stamping and construction, these are generally associated with the late 1960s to early/mid 1970s era.

Operation & Straightness

All four tuners operate normally and turn as they should. One tuner from the 1–3 string side has an obviously bent string shaft (the rod the keystone button is attached to) — please see photos. One other shaft and the 4–6 string side show slight bending as well; it’s subtle and a bit difficult to capture clearly in photos, but it is present. The bends likely resulted from an impact at some point (e.g., the guitar being bumped or dropped). I have not attempted to straighten any shafts, as the risk outweighs the benefit and I prefer to leave them as-is.

Hardware / What to know

Condition

Honest vintage cosmetic wear consistent with decades of use (patina, scratches, oxidation/tarnish, and grime). Buttons are naturally aged/yellowed with small marks. No cracks or major structural damage noted beyond the shaft bends described above. Please review all photos for exact condition.

Compatibility

Vintage Kluson-style tuner footprint used on many late-’60s to early/mid-’70s Gibson models. Please confirm fitment for your specific guitar/year (post hole size, bushing/ferrule type, and screw hole alignment) before purchase.
