Hey guys,
I've wanted to get black tuners for my AC320 for a long time now. A couple of weeks ago one of those little "spacing rings" between the machine head and the rest of the tuner broke and even though I put it back in, turning the machine head has become very difficult, which is why I wanted to use this to swap out the tuners for black ones alltogether. I also want to get new bridge pins.
Since this is where Eastman aficionados gather, I thought I'd swing buy and ask the following questions:
1) Do Eastman bridgepins adhere to certain measurements throughout the guitar lineup? I recently had to replace bridge pins on a Walden guitar and the first batch I ordered didn't have the correct angle (even though the schematics provided by Thomann said otherwise) and I had to go out and buy a 2nd one. I don't want something as simple as bridge pins replacement to turn into some sort of lottery.
2) I've never changed the tuners on a guitar, but based on this short video, it doesn't look to complicated. I can't say what kind of tuners Eastman installed on my AC320 since there is no brand name on them, but I reckon they are Ping ones as well. The screw holes are on the bottom, straight down. Could I get these tuners? And what about the "bushings"? I've browsed this forum and read that some people have encountered glued on bushings, ie ones that you can't just swap for different ones. Is this a common thing with Eastman guitars?
Maybe some of you can help me out here 
Cheers!
