I do have a fascination with tuners, they're machines after all... also real particular about that part of the guitar, tuners, screws, everything has to be correct, stock if possible.
I've been looking at a lot of Guilds in the last year, dreads in particular, and I'm wondering what the tuner choices were, beyond the lower end Japanese strip tuners?
Pics of a '72 D35 shows the strip tuners.
My '73 D35 has these;

Pretty sure they're original, a close inspection reveals there's never been other tuners on the guitar although I have not had them off.
Are the Grovers at all common on these guitars, I'm not seeing them on other Guilds of the era.
Then there's the sealed ones, as seen in the sales section yesterday, sold to Hans.
And Grovers also?
