What's the serial number on your V310? If it's not on the headstock or label inside, it'll be on the neck block inside. That'll tell us what year it was made and if someone has a similar one or a catalog, they can suggest something.

Also, can you describe the tuners you currently have?

Juan, I have one of these guitars in the workshop at present and I will check it out tomorrow and let you know what is the nearest currently available machine head you can use. The original machine heads were discontinued in the early 90's.

Juan:

The tuners on the Vintage series changed considerably over the years. My '78 catalog (thanks Orval!) shows two types of tuners were used: die-cast and covered. They only show the covered variety. These have parallelagram shaped base plates with screws at the upper left and lower right coners.

Because the catalog doesn't show the V310 model, I'm assuming your's is an early '80s model. The tuners are more modern looking; I call them "M"-shaped. But they may still have the upper left, lower right screw placement. If your's don't have the two screws as described, let us know what you've got.

Here's a picture of the two cheaper acoustic tuners. The picture is poor, but it might help.
