I recently bought a 1982 1624 Country Artist. I really like the guitar, but I generally prefer gold tuners rather than chrome.

While looking on eBay, I saw an ad for a 1763 which has tuners I like.

The question I have for the more knowledgeable among us is will the tuners from a 1763 fit on a 1624?

I measured the spacing of the tuners from my 1624 and the tuners are 1-3/8" apart, center to center.

The mounting screws are the same distance apart. (1-3/8")

The overall length of the mounting frames from end to end are 4-11/16".

The black plastic winders inside the slots are 3/8" in diameter.

If someone on the forum has a 1763, could you measure the tuners to see if theirs are the same size as mine?

Thanks again. I'm including pics of tuners from both my 1624 and a 1763 I found on eBay.

Dan

you can replace them, they have the same measurment. I've swapped them on mine for gold ones, too.
If you want them new, I can help you....
