Oxnard tuner button question

[Gabby84]

Hope this finds everyone well and staying safe!
I am working, but to decompress, (in addition to practicing and playing) I am thinking of changing out the tuner buttons (knobs?) on my 2018 Oxnard M20. they are open back, not grover size (failed that one, those are now going on my tele for a different look).
b
I emailed Guild, but would not be surprised if they are all home staying safe during this time.

So, you folks are my go to. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks all!

Do you mean the buttons or the whole tuners? Cream to black, or similar?

Just the buttons. I was looking at bone.

I think you'll find the buttons on open gear tuners are glued on and not as easily changeable as sealed gear tuners - however, if you're willing to try it here's a clip that does a great job swapping buttons on Grover Sta-Tite open gear tuners.

Thanks, the m20 are not glued, but in place using a screw. I contacted Guild. The Oxnard m20 tuners are in-house and he wasn’t sure which size or other brand may fit.

Cool! Can you post a picture of them?

I was looking at a few made by tone ninja. After giving it much thought. Since Guild Oxnard uses their own tuners and are not aware of which aftermarket may fit, I’m going to take one off, measure the screw length and width. And see what I can find that may work. I’ll post a photo tomorrow of the ones I did buy that are not a good fit. They’ll go on my telecaster.

I looked over the Ninja stuff, but since I'm a round /oval plain Jane button nerd I don't really care for anything that draws attention to the machines, especially if they seem proportionately large, like big ears on a kid's head. I owned one of these guitars and never noticed the set screw attachment, but aesthetically I like to match the buttons, nut, and bridgepins. Nice little couch guitars! Trying to sell my '57, quite a different animal.
