Okay, I have an Epiphone Les Paul standard... and I love it. But today I discovered something. I examined the back of the headstock to see if the tuners had a label on them, because they seem to stay in tune for a long time... They were GROVERS! I have seen countless guitar reviews about how people change their tuners for Gotohs or Grovers, and now I wonder why...

Please reply, Thanks

So whats the question exactly? Why they switch to Grovers? If so, you answered that yourself, they stay in tune, especially paired with a TOM bridge (tune-o-matic.)

I am wondering if the grovers are supposed to be standard on the Epiphone.

I have seen reviews of this exact guitar online where people change the standard tuners for grovers, but I can't see why, considering I bought mine brand-new and they were already on there. I think it's just sort of weird for a guitar of it's price to have grovers on it, when it's Gibson cousin doesn't even have grovers on it, and it's 3x the price.
