Tuners

chromewhore2010 · 10-12-2009, 02:13 AM

Anyone have any particular brand of tuners that they prefer? I've heard Schaller is a really good brand, but i personally don't know a difference from one to another.

My experience with Gibson Deluxe Tuners that were put on by the previous owner have been very pleasant. After my Epiphone Les Paul was set up and all I would only have to tune my guitar once a week or so (and that's with the cheap plastic nut).

Hope that helps some.

I have the Gibson Deluxe tuners on my Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded and they stay in tune without any problem.
Otherwise i´d get these Grover http://www.grotro.com/Mainlockingroto.html without a doubt.
They´re 10mm while the Gibson Deluxe tuners are 8.7mm.
Vintage vs Modern sort of

I've never had tuners on a non-Chinese made guitar (Epiphone excluded - as their Grovers are fine) that NEEDED replaced. Most tuning issues are coming from the nut. Which guitar are you talking about?

I have a set of vintage Klusons I place on my present "keeper " guitars , I love 'em.

I've never had issues with guitars going out of tune... BUT, I will say that Grover 18:1s make it much easier to get dialed in. Cheap tuners make it kind of a bitch to get the tuning dead on, but they do seem to hold pretty well once you get there.

Why are you seeking new tuners?

Exluthier · 10-16-2009, 01:41 PM

I like Schaller and Gotohs better than Grover.
