They are nice tuners with the correct vintage markings, and I use them exclusively, but unlike the original according to labeling on the box, they are made in Korea.

Danny, are they slotted like the vintage ones? I see they have the nickel "Butterbean" buttons, but did not see the plastic "Butterbean" Buttons. Do you buy both?

Sarah, I'm pretty sure that Kluson is making re-issues of all of the originals, and I believe that
Gotoh (Korean Manufacturer) is manufacturing the Kluson Brand.........but did anyone notice on
the Kluson Website, the disclaimers for Fender, Gibson and....the last one is:
"MOSRITE® IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF WESTHEIMER CORPORATION.".......??

I believe that's a mistake. If you look at Westheimer's website there is no mention of Mosrite. I just did another search of the USPTO to be sure and there are only two LIVE trademarks for Mosrite. 77329855 is owned by Loretta B. Moseley and 75439289 is owned by Fillmore Co., LTD and registerd by Noriyuki Yusa.

I don't know if these links will work since they are the result of a search:
