I'm totally infatuated by the way the press in bushings look, as compared to the larger bolt style bushings.
But I could understand, if the maple was badly crushed by overtightening or if the color differential was really obnoxious, that some might choose the Tonepros instead. Here's pictures from 2007, showing 2006 guitars with some darkening of the finish in the exposed area for that first year with the bigger stock tuner on there.
Now it is 2009 and the evidence is gone.
I wanna apologize and clarify in my earlier post. When I said the Gotohs stood tall, I meant I liked them and that they seemed very good - no intention of suggesting a difference in height.
