Grover tuner grittiness fix

[Default]

I never thought about how they are actually constructed, but grease on the thrust washers under the buttons does the trick.
I would imagine that this would work on most Grover-style tuners.

Good tip, thanks!

Also, remember that it's best to take the tuners off for lubing. Especially the Kluson type with the access hole. Doing it in place can mean the lubricant seeps into the finish, discoloring around the tuners.

Less is more.

I never liked the Klusons. Maybe I just ran into a couple of worn out ones. I did pick up a pair in the lmii sale, in case I ever need them.

Me neither, but that was just for example. Best to take any brand out to lube.
