I put a block of mahogany under mine and bolted it down. I don't ever need to adjust the action anyway!

Starting with what tuning machines are on the Epiphone EB-3, is there a drop in replacement tuner. In black if available and even carbon fibre if possible
I believe a Grover 142 is a drop in replacement. Black available?
I read this about Hipshot HB5 https://www.talkbass.com/threads/wh...placement-tuners-for-an-epiphone-eb3.1089589/

Here's a few more EB-3 clones.
Esquire . The claim is made by the poster that it is mij based on similar appearance to the Bellwood eb-3 which I put a pic up of awhile back. Esquire appears a very obscure brand
Hawk. I noticed this on Gumtree Australia. Invalid Link Removed The seller claims mij. Possibly so. This facebook link has a Hawk guitar stated as mij
Jedistar mentions Hawk being mij or german

Drowning in Guitars makes mention of Hawk as a brand, but with a ? Indicating some uncertainty about being Japanese I presume
1960s Japanese Guitar Brand Name Game!!
The seller notes the bridge isn't original, which is pretty obvious if you know anything about mij clones of the era, nor are the knobs one would think
Does look like these Kasuga and Sekova eb-3's, having a bound neck and the inlay on the headstock, neck pickup shape, although, unlike them, the ouput socket is side mounted, which it has in common with this Ariel EB-3
Kasuga made Ganson badged stuff according to oft referred to Spinditty link Invalid Link Removed and the Hawk also looks like a Ganson, although the Ganson in this pic has the single neck pickup EB-0 style

Anyone ever move the strap button to the front of the tip on the top horn? How'd it work out?
What would be a good solid replacement for those kind of bridges that require no modding?
Hipshot 2 point IF your neck is 2 1/2" at the heel. My Greco copy is only 2" and string spacing is a bit close to the edge of the FB. Still deciding if I'm going to install it.
