Can anyone identify these tuners?

Post by SadFuzz » Wed Sep 11, 2019 11:35 pm

Wanting to put locking tuners on my JM, do not like the split shaft.
This is what I'm going for and wondered if anyone here knows the brand or a similar set.

Could be anything, almost, from that angle. My guess would be Schaller - but what do I know? Schallers would give you what you're looking for, though.

Yeah, they look like the modern Fender two pin type that is based on the Schallers. Not what I would recommend for a conversion from vintage type tuners since there is usually two guide pins that would need to have holes drilled to accommodate. There's better choices.

They look quite clunky and never seem to be any better than say a vintage-ish correct Gotoh replacement.

Gotoh makes vintage styled locking tuners. They look right and you won't have to drill any new holes:

That's a good choice, look into Kluson Revolution locking tuners, also. The best tuners out there at the moment.

I know, I just dislike the look of the vintage style ones, they look really weedy.
I've had a look at klusons they seem up my street.
