I'm thinking I need to change out the tuners on my 79' G37 acoustic. Does anyone know of a good replacement that will fit the 70's models?
I would check with Hans.
To tell the truth I was thinking same thing but figured he just wasn't going into the reason why.Sorry to play devil's advocate, but why do you feel the need to change tuners?
I have a bad tuner. was going to change them all.
Is it bad by worn metal?
Or perhaps dried grease?
If the latter - take it off guitar - take knob off and sink the unit into WD-40 or whatever you have over there these days - after that, if you have air compressor, try to blow the gook out - repeat. Once it moves easily, let it dry and put in new grease - should be good for next decade or two.
I've replaced bad tuning keys with open backs. Are they better? Don't really know for sure but adjustment is easier when needed. But really I just like the way they look.
