I have a ’79 Les Paul, and one of the buttons on the machine heads has come loose. I would like to replace the whole set, but I’m having trouble finding a replacement that is vintage nickel with nickel buttons. It seems like all they make now are pearloid. Does anyone know where I can find these? I live in Tampa, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to find this online somewhere. Otherwise, does anyone know a good bonding agent to get this thing stuck back on. It’s my low E string, so there’s a good deal of tension when you turn it…
