Johnny1982 Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Hi! :-) I need to replace the crappy tuners of an Epiphone Les Paul with some good locking tuners. http://www.thomann.de/prodbilder/schaller_m6_klemmmechanik_bc_pimx_159043.jpg Schaller M6Klemm 3l/3r Black, 66 on thomann's... http://www.thomann.de/prodbilder/160047.jpg Schaller 1502 - 92 worth the money? What do you think? thanks!
Bluesape Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Expensive - check if Gotoh has a competitive item. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never!
Greg B. Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I was going to say check with Stew-Mac, but since you are on the other side of the pond, they may not ship over there. On the off chance that they do, check out www.stewmac.com. They have quite a few choices (locking and standard) that are reasonably priced. Good luck. Avoid playing the amplifier at a volume setting high enough to produce a distorted sound through the speaker-Fender Guitar Course-1966

Zephyr Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 maybe i shouldn't say pair, unless you have two guitars that is. Never argue with an idiot.

Xplorer Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Planet Waves make some slick locking/cutting tuners, although I can't comment on them. Not sure if they are expensive. Besides, I heard that shipping costs are really high to Fartland. Is that true? What a horrible night to have a curse.

doc taz Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 The Gotohs are good, too. They have these new 510's that start at about 60 euros ($75 US). http://www.stewmac.com/catalog/images_1lg/5742_1lg.jpg The design is such that it tunes as well as any of the conventional locking tuners. One less knob to deal with, so it must be a very efficient tuner to use. I'd definitely love to have this with a Kahler, Floyd Rose, or Stetsbar equipped guitar. Here's the mini version, also going for the same price: http://www.stewmac.com/catalog/images_1lg/5741_1lg.jpg But, if you like the extra knob, and fewer string winds, nothing works as well as a Sperzel, IMO. They start at 48 euros ($60 US): http://www.stewmac.com/catalog/images_1lg/3421_1lg.jpg (I went through http://stewmac.com for the prices and pics.) sevenstring.org profile my flickr page
