New Klusons

[honduras]

Anybody know if the latest single line Klusons with the cream buttons are a direct retro fit on a historic R9? Would the bushings be an exact fit?

They would be a direct retro fit, (assuming you mean the 'keystone' type buttons)... Personally, I would keep the existing bushings on the guitar.

Kluson intends to offer retro fit single line tuners that fit the stock 1/4" bushings exactly. The older issue tuners have a slightly smaller fitting shaft so there is some play in the fit. Not sure when or if the 1/4" version is available yet. See thread:
