Johnny1982 Posted June 26, 2006 Share 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?

Bluesape Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Expensive - check if Gotoh has a competitive item. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg B. Posted June 27, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Get yourself a pair of Grovers if you can Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=810593 http://www.myspace.com/dandelavega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted June 27, 2006 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc taz Posted June 29, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
