Will these fit onto an Epi Les Paul standard?

I'm also looking to upgrade all the hardware on my epi to gold too if anyone spies anyone knows any good websites for people in the uk with bit that will fit on :>

If you're looking at it as an "upgrade," remember that the gold plating on guitar hardware is extremely thin. Looks pretty new, but after a few months of normal playing it'll be wearing through and showing the silvery metal beneath the plating. Nickel plating ages far better.

on tuners. especially after market tuners, the tuning shaft has two sizes. this is important to discern.
a set of tuners I have for a project looks similar to what is shown, except that the shaft is narrower. thus the hole for the bushing, that the tuner slides thru, would be too large for the tuners I have.
another set, is like those pictured. there is a wide part of the shaft and athe narrow section( where the string winds). the wider shafts can fit our guitars. but be sure to look first.
Not really an upgrade i just think it will make my guitar sexier :P

They look about right but as mentioned above, make sure the shaft diameter matches the hole in your head stock. Does your Epi Les Paul Standard have Kluson style (backs like the ones in the pic) or sealed die cast tuners on it now?

Yeah they look liek the back fo the ones in the picture but have some horrid pale green olive coloured spinny things.

yikes!
They are referred to as Green Key Tuners. Gibson seems to like them. I got them on both of my Gibson Les Pauls and my Epiphone SG. I don't mind them though.
Oh, and if you replace them make sure you measure for the correct diameter shaft for the holes in your guitar. I don't know if its a rule or anything, but I find the ones with the push in ferrules tend to be the ones with the smaller diameter holes and the larger ones have a ferrule that has threads and a nut and washer on top. They screw onto the back piece. I think thats why the hole needs to be larger, to accomodate the threads.
