Does anyone know if hipshot has a direct fit drop D tuner for a Epi VP ?

I imagine this one's been covered before. After 10 minutes of searching I figured I'd just ask.
Thanks. I imagine at least
If you do a search in this thread you’ll find instructions not to do a search, just ask.:thumbsup:
I think they do offer one, but someone will probably respond shortly with the correct model number and size.
Thanks! I imagine someone in this thread has "been there, done that."

Questions like this are always encouraged, "search" is overrated.

The Early Vintage Pros used a large Wilkenson tuner so A Hipshot BT2 would be correct. It's my understanding that the later issues of the VP use a slightly smaller model and the Hipshot BT1 is your choice.

Mine with early, big tuners.

That's a sexy rig there, lady.

There is a reason you didn't find it. The search function is prohibited around here. That way we get to talk more about Thunderbirds.
 
ya the case is like new as well, the door to the compartment inside is a little wonky but I think thats more the norm than not. I need to give it a good setup, the strings are sky high but the neck is good and straight by eye.

I figure the case alone is $120 usd so i got a practically new Classic Pro for $200 bucks :hyper: That makes me quite happy.
Sounds like a situation where they didn’t know what they had.
