First post in a while...
I have a Norlins Era Les Paul Custom with Gibson stamped tuners, like this
I'm having tuning stability issues and some of the tuners are slipping.
Does anyone have recommendations for replacements? Hopefully something that looks similar and won't require modifications to install, maybe locking tuners to help with tuning issues.

I think I've isolated it to tuners, it's got a graphite nut and nothing's catching there. A couple of the tuners feel like they're stripping when I try to tune them.

I have a set of locking Grover Rotomatics in nickel if that would work. They're great.

I have gotoh's locking kluson's on my LP. Apart from a slot in the front, they look identical to the originals, they work perfectly too.
Might not be bling enough for a custom though.
Magnum lock, same as these ones

I asked Adrian what the best locking tuners for an LP were, and thats what he recommended
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Gotohs are my pick. Can't remember if they come in that colour/style though. Maybe try some Grovers?
