I have a Cherry Sunbust LS65 which I love apart from a couple of things: the ultra-red cherry sunburst finish and the stiff machine heads (tuners) which I have never liked and have damaged slightly making fitting some replacements desirable. My questions are:
1. Will the currently "none more cherry" finish ever fade, even slightly?
I would imagine not as I understand that Tokai don't use nitrocellulose laquer but I was wondering whether exposure to sunlight over the years might still result in a little bit of fading. (Yes I know I should have waited to find a "honeyburst", but I fell in love with the sound of this particular guitar)
2. Has anybody ever replaced the machine-heads on a Love Rock?
I'm wondeing if there's a set that would drop in without any kind of redrilling - which I suppose rules out locking types like Sperzels (which would be my preferred option).
Many Thanks
