Kluson's Revolution uses a screw-in bushing sized for 10mm holes, which is what this guitar has. No reaming needed.
Current-production Epiphone ES-335 tuner holes are 10mm. Kluson's Revolution uses a screw-in hex bushing built for a 10mm peghole, quoted by Kluson as 25/64 inch, so it threads into the existing holes.
Should swap straight into the existing tuner holes, no reaming needed. This tuner set is not handed, so the same part works on this left-handed guitar.
Standard 3+3 Gibson-style LockTone hardware family, 10mm holes. Gibson and PRS-style 3-per-side tuner sets are not handedness-specific per the confirmed hardware pattern, so the same tuner set fits this left-handed model without needing a separate left-handed SKU.

The ES-339 uses the same headstock hardware as the ES-335, drilled at 10mm. Kluson's Revolution uses a screw-in hex bushing built for a 10mm peghole, so it threads into the existing holes. The open question on this model concerns body and f-hole dimensions, which have no bearing on tuner fit.
Should swap straight into the existing tuner holes, no reaming needed.
Gibson's own spec sheet for this exact model confirms Grover Rotomatic tuners on the standard 3+3 footprint, the strongest kind of sourcing available.

Same hardware footprint as the right-handed Les Paul Standard 60s. Gibson and PRS-style 3-per-side tuner sets are not handedness-specific per the confirmed hardware pattern, so no separate left-handed SKU is needed here.

Standard Gibson 3-per-side headstock drilled at 10mm, and Kluson's Revolution threads into a 10mm peghole. Gibson-style 3-per-side tuner sets are not handedness-specific, so the standard part is correct on a left-handed guitar and no separate left-handed SKU is needed. The unresolved question on this model is its bridge post spacing, which has no bearing on tuner fit.
A locking alternative to our Grover option, also reported as a clean fit on this model.
A Streamliner owner reports Kluson locking tuners as a perfect fit with no tuning issues, at the same 10mm post size as the Grover option above.
Should swap straight into the existing tuner holes, no reaming needed.
Standard Gibson-style single-cut 3+3 layout on a 10mm hole, TonePros bridge does not affect tuner fitment.
Hole size should be right either way, but this model has shipped from the factory with more than one brand of tuner. Check which ones you actually have before ordering.
Some units of this model have shipped with Wilkinson tuners rather than the Grover Rotomatics Epiphone list in the spec. Both sit in a 10mm hole, which is what Kluson's Revolution screw-in bushing is built for, so the headstock does not need reaming either way. What varies is the bushing being removed, which affects how cleanly the replacement threads in.
Help confirm this fit
The tuner hole size matches, but this guitar's screw mounting pattern is angled differently from a standard Gibson-style tuner. The screw holes may not line up even if the post itself fits.
Hipshot's own published fitment guidance for the ESP LTD Eclipse states its tuner mounting screw holes are angled 45 degrees from the tuner body, a nonstandard pattern that aftermarket kits typically only work around by using a mounting plate rather than matching screw holes directly. The Kluson Revolution G-mount uses the traditional two-screw Gibson pattern, which may not line up even though the peghole diameter matches.

Shares the same Eclipse-body headstock as the standard E-II Eclipse, where Hipshot's own fitment guidance confirms a nonstandard 45-degree angled screw mount. That mounting risk applies here too, independent of this guitar's different bridge system.

Hole size should be close, but tuners on this model have varied by year. Confirm your actual tuner post diameter before ordering.
Tuners on the Gibson ES-335 have varied by production year between Vintage Deluxe, Grover, and Kluson units on roughly 10mm posts, rather than one settled spec. Kluson's Revolution threads into a 10mm peghole, so the general size is close, but bushing fit can differ depending on which year's tuners are actually fitted.

Hole size should be close, but Gretsch tuner mounting patterns vary by model and this one has not been confirmed. Worth checking screw hole spacing before ordering.
Gretsch tuner mounting conventions vary meaningfully by model, some accept a standard Gibson-style two-screw Kluson mount cleanly, others use a different screw spacing that does not line up without a mounting plate or new holes. This has not been confirmed for the G6120T specifically, and forum reports are mixed across the Gretsch range.

Looks vintage, but the post is actually modern-diameter, needs the tuner holes reamed to fit rather than a straight swap.
Despite the vintage-look housing, this uses a modern 25/64in (9.92mm) peghole, needs reaming from the Casino's vintage-spec holes, the same underlying issue as the Grover 102 option.
