Hey all,
first of all: I´m glad to be here and looking forward to get in touch with other Guild lovers.
I recently got a Guild D-140 westerly in natural which I adore. Very much a very fine instrument! I like it a lot. Though there is one thing: the tuning machines. I just dont like the look of them (otherwise, the operate perfectly I guess) and would like to change them.
Guild states these are "Guild Vintage 18 Open Geat Tuners" in nickel, though I cannot really find them and honestly: these are closed tuners, aren´t they? Cant see an open back or something. I´m not very familiar with dreadnought tuning machines as I play mainly electric guitars. https://guildguitars.com/g/westerly-d-140-nat/#toggle-id-1
When finding replacement tuners, I would like to find the installed ones first (to check size and stuff). I would like to use new tuners without having to change anything or drill new holes or something.
What I´m looking for: ivory/cream coloured tuning pegs instead of nickel but I´m really struggling to find out which way to go.
Could anybody please chime in?
Very much appreciated!!
Please note: sorry for my english and when shopping new tuners, I´m from europe so ordering in USA wouldn´t be the best thing for me.
