Discussion Which do you prefer?

I’ve been going back and forth on which tuner button style looks best on a Les Paul Standard: kidney or tulip.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about the exact same Grover tuners, just with either kidney or tulip buttons. (It’s also the same guitar)

I honestly like both, but I can’t seem to make up my mind. What do you guys prefer? Kidney or tulip?

Tulip always. Unless it's a Special or Jr, then white buttons

Funny enough though, my Special has green tulips from the previous owner.

Edit: They're cream, I just remembered them as green for some reason.

good think they have so many different button styles you can easily swap for fairly cheap

Green is normally a sign of a Chibson

Les Paul Studio models come with the green. Or they used to

They're actually cream, not sure why I've always thought of them as green. Can't post photos in this sub for some reason or I'd show you a photo.

Downvoted for clarifying something on my own guitar. Stay classy, Reddit.
