D40 Tuners - Original?

aamapes · Oct 21, 2015

I will be looking at a local D40 in a couple of days. I have a few photos on this 1967 (Hoboken) and wonder about the tuners on it. I've never seen some like this. Can anyone tell me if they are originals?

Here is a link to the photo - I hope it works...

Just letting you know that the photo link is telling me "page not found".

See the pic Hans Moust posted in post 5 of this thread... they show a style of tuners found in a 67 D-40 (note... look at Hans pic, not the one I posted, which would be correct for some early '70s D-40s).

I changed to a new link - give this one a try.

Thanks - yes, they look like the photo Hans posted. I guess they are probably originals. I will see how they work when I get to look over the guitar.

My D-40 came with the same ones. Original, and terrible! Worst tuners I've ever encountered on a Guild and that includes some the three-on-a-plank open gear tuners some of the lower-end models came with.
