What brand (and 'model') keys are these?
They are from a Lashley LeGrand.
They have no manufacturer name on them.
I'm trying to replace a few of them here.
Thanks,
~Russ
Dimensions are just under an inch-and-a-half for heighth, right at an inch-and-a-quarter from end of string-post to far side of housing, and three-quarters of an inch wide. |

Hello Russ,
I had trouble with those keys on a legrandeII back in 97. As I recall, Emmons replaced my E9 keys twice because they had
used a inferior key. the peg that inserts into the keyhead breaks very easily.
Those keys are no-name Grover/Like keys.
The Key problem was ONE of the reasons I stopped playing Emmons guitars. There were
several others.

These appear to be Grovers. Grovers are made by Ping and on some of them you will find the Grover name on the inside surface of the casting (housing) . I think it's near the pin.
Ping also offers a very similar key with a longer housing around the shaft If the Key Head width is less than .400, Grovers will work.[This message was edited by John Fabian on 10 April 2005 at 08:35 AM.] [This message was edited by John Fabian on 10 April 2005 at 08:35 AM.] |

Russ, that exact key is on a new Gretsch guitar I bought a while back. I suspect they might be a foreign key from the far east as I've seen them on some standard guitars made in Korea and China. I'd just get a set of mini Grovers as the button is the same and a set of 6 is pretty reasonable....JH in Va.

| My local luthier describes these as "those %&#$ useless tuners that we always have to replace" - they are a cheap (really cheap!) Grover copy. Real Grovers will have the Grover name on them, usually around the circumference of the round outer cover. |
