Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV Pro Tuner Replacement


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

Just bought an Epiphone thunderbird classic iV pro (neck thru job) and I want to change the stock tuners.

 

Obviously looking at the Hipshot Ultralites as will be getting the supertone bridge.

 

does anyone know whether 3/8” (14mm holes) or the 1/2” (16mm holes) is the right one to buy?

 

thanks for any advice in advance.

 

thanks

 

Tim

Hi timmchale, It's the 3/8's mate, I've put Gotoh 737's on mine along with a Babicz FCH3 Bridge, it's not as clunky as the Hipshot.

Have you gone for the Babicz Epiphone specific one or have you gone for the standard Gibson one?

My CP has the standard as the Epi one wasn't on the market back then, I have however recently sold a CP which has the Epi version on it, no difference in quality, and because it's designed to sit on the existing bridge studs, much less hassle to install. Bass Direct is the cheapest I've see them at £129, other places are wanting £150 or more.
