I'd like to replace these cheap looking buttons on my Kentucky KM-1000B. These are Gotoh tuners, I think. Anybody done that? Any advice for reliable source for buttons that are made to fit?

Before you start buying Gotoh buttons be aware that Saga imported a bunch of Gotoh look alike tuners for a few years and the only thing that is different is the size of the shaft that holds the buttons. Pull a button and get the measurements of the flat sides and the rounded sides.
If they are genuine Gotoh tuners there are real mother-of-pearl buttons available on eBay that I've used a few times.

I have a Morris hybrid F4 built in 2010 with Gotoh tuning machines. I bought ebony mini buttons to replace the standard mother-of-toilet-seat buttons from Guitar Parts Factory.
