Anyone know what the OEM tuners would have been on a 2012 D50 from the New Hartford factory? The originals on the guitar I just bought have been replaced with Rotomatics and they look terrible with exposed screw holes.
NH D50 Tuners
- Thread starter davenumber2
- Start date
The Standard (rosewood fretboard) series had Gotoh 510 closed back tuners. The traditional series had Gotoh SE700 open backs.

Info from the old 2012 webpage:
D-50 Standard:
Gotoh® Die-Cast (EDIT: = SG301, not SG510)
D-50 Bluegrass Special (Traditional Series):
Gotoh® 700 Series Nickel-Plated Open-Back Tuners

That's a Gotoh 301 (I think). They used the 301s on the GSR models, too.

SG301 is correct, that is what Guild called Die-Cast! (Well here with a different knob). But not the SG510.

It has to be a BG Special even though the label only says D50. It has a gloss antique burst finish, chesterfield logo, tortoise binding and the top appears to be Adirondack. The footprint of the tuners are definitely open back.

So they were Gotoh® 700 Series Nickel-Plated Open-Back Tuners with the 06M button.
SE700-06M-N.

Yup, sounds like it. Definitely not a Standard series.

Thanks everybody. SE700’s it is. They are nice tuners. I have a set on another guitar and they are really smooth.
