I found out the hard way that these buttons are only "supposed" to look/feel like rubber coated metal and in fact are just cheesy plastic!

Now I need 6 good buttons. Does anyone know what style tuners these are copied from?

I'm finding Gotoh's and Schallers and Schaller style Gotohs and 3 or 4 others!

HELP!:shock:

ETA: I borrowed one from a Crate Strat copy and it fits fine.

It looks like the shaft has two flat sides.

I guess you don't want to just replace the whole tuner with a gold or chrome-plated Grovers? They are pretty cheap these days, and look like your tuners as far as shape and fit...

These tuners work so good that I don't want to mess up a good thing by replacing them.

I actually found a chrome button from an Asian Strat copy that screws on and works fine.

It looks really goofy, but hey who cares? I bought it to play not look at!

Maybe Takamine will answer my E-mail and send me one! (Yeah Right!)

Its a G406S and it sounds like I need to send Takamine another $1000 or so.

Other than the cheesy tuner buttons, its a 10. :grin:

I've let several people test drive it and their jaws just drop when I tell them its a sub $500 China special!
