This is my LP Std, the original tuners were Gibson's own Deluxe Kluson-type 'tulip' pegs. These do not hold tuning well so they were duly replaced by Gotoh's Magnum Locks, identifiable by the slit-top machine heads. I have played the guitar in question for 1 hour after the new tuners were in place & the tuning retention was so much better.
The good people of Gibson would have their reasons for including non-locking units in their instruments but having paid so much for a Gibson in general, one would expect some considerations for the above-mentioned issue.

heys subz.
how come ur gibby is fretless?
getting a re-fret?
there are frets there but some of them have been oxidized, hence the dark/ non-shiny units. after these pics were taken, i had given my LP Std some touch-ups: fret polish, fretboard oiling, new strings etc.
