Favorite Tuners?

Post by twenty2late »

Do you all have a preference for closed tuners? I've been using the Grover Rotomatics, but am leaning towards the Gotoh Magnum Lock Trads for this current build. Thoughts? Not the appropriate choice? Is there anything that would be considered the absolute best? Thanks.

I was also a fan of Grover Rotomatics, but lately I've become partial to Gotoh 510s. They have clean lines and are very smooth in operation. I think their price is also quite reasonable. The Magnum Locks look very similar and would probably be completely satisfactory.

I prefer open back tuners, but if I decide to install closed gear tuners, I would probably go with Gotoh. I've never heard a bad thing about Gotoh 510's.

I have Grover Rotomatics on my 44 year old Martin 000-28 and they still work perfectly. I prefer open backs, but these are too good to replace.
