I can confirm the Grover 406c locking rotomatics are drop in replacements.

Seems like the post holes are slightly larger than the posts of the grovers, but if you tighten them down enough they dont move around.

I really can't imagine that voiding the warranty.

I'm going to put my grovers on the 59 this weekend. Any idea if that will void my warranty?
I prefer the locking rotomatics as opposed to the roto-grip ones because you dont have to turn the wheel on the back.
They use a cam that locks on the string automatically as you tune up to pitch.

These are direct replacements right down to the screw holes: http://www.allparts.com/TK-0976-010-Schaller-3X3-Chrome-Locking-Tuners_p_3768.html

Locking tuners are a must on JTV's in my opinion. Makes strings changes SO much easier with the JTV bridge. BTW - I bought mine on eBay and saved $25+

Don't know about Grovers, but these Shallers work perfectly for me.

I agree. I've never had locking tuners, but string change would be much easier with the grover 406c's. Let me know if they fit stock.

The bridge is different on the 59. From what I have seen, the strings can be a pain to keep in the bridge when putting them on. Hopefully, not having to keep slack to wind will help that.

I also change strings often, and the locking tuners just makes that process much less of a chore...

Does the JTV-59 use a different type of tuning machine from the 69? I'm not crazy about the 69 neck, but the tuners seem fine.

let me know if they fit. I love the variax! I own 4 Gibson les Paul's of the higher end, and I play my variax more now! the tuning is the only issue.
