Gotoh Style Tuners

Anyone tried these tuners? If so, how are they?

They appear to be Gotoh knock-off mini's with a 50's style "Kluson-type" button knob.

I have them in a tele.Great tuners,like ALL Gotoh tuners,light in weight too...

They aren't Gotoh. I bought some, and although they look and fit like Gotohs, their overall quality and feel was not as good. Not bad, but I would not use them again. Nothing like the real thing, which rival and/or surpass Schaller. JMO

The key clue on those knock-off tuners is the 14:1 ratio - real Gotoh SG38 tuners are 16:1. Those knock-offs appear to be JinHo's - yuk, too much gear lash. No thanx.

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't go for them. I ended up getting some Gotoh Kluson style. And although I'm gonna have to do some retrofitting, I'll be much happier in the end. Thanks!

f69tele - 'Bout time you gotcha an avatar, hoss! How's things in your neck o' the woods, weather-wise?

Sorry dudes, I guess I don't even know what an "avatar" is. :? Can ya clue me in? I want to be exited about it too! :lol:

By the way, weather-wise, we got a little wind - nothing damaging and not even a drop of rain. But, we were still able to make our date in Brownsville !

Yours would be the shot of your '69 Thinline. It's cool, amigo!

Glad you avoided damage and made your gig...
