Derrick1642607670 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hey, I've been look to get a new set of tuning machines for my strat and need some insight. I've looked at a few big name sites and can't find what im looking for. I know the style i'm looking for has either pearloid or white buttons and is sort of "vintage" looking. I'm replacing my old set because of tuning problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Derrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Well, these are vintage/period-correct and authentic, even if they don't have pearloid, ivoroid, or other white buttons: ___________ Kluson 6 in line tuners by TonePros (That's a link) ________ http://www.toneproskluson.com/images/products/TPK6FBR.jpghttp://www.toneproskluson.com/images/products/TPK6FB.jpg ...And here're their locking versions of the same: ________ http://www.toneproskluson.com/images/products/TPKF6BLR.jpghttp://www.toneproskluson.com/images/products/TPKF6BL.jpg You could also swing by the tuners for solid headstocks 'page on the Stewart-MacDonald 'site, to see if there's anything there that you like; and they also carry replacement buttons and other tuner parts...

Derrick1642607670 Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I've been trying to look for what I described from fender because I know i've seen these on some of the custom shop strats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well, they're likely similar or identical to the ones I pictured above, but with different buttons stuck on them. Maybe these Mustang/Musicmaster/Duo Sonic tuners would fit- I don't know if they're interchangeable between Strats/Teles and Mustangs/Musicmasters/Duo Sonics (the latter probably featured cheaper tuners overall)... _____________________ Kluson replacement tuners _______________________ http://www.kluson.com/Parts/SD9105MNP.jpg Then again, maybe they're essentially the same, with the exception of the buttons. Either way, I think you'd do better to go with those higher quality TonePros/Klusons, and have different buttons put on 'em if you want.
