Hey guys,
My 1st post here I think.
I have a '73 Bluesbird and I love the thing but the tuners are sticky.
Any suggestions on replacement tuners? Are there any things Guild specific I should know?
Thanks

Welcome! I wrote a 1974 here: https://www.gad.net/Blog/2016/10/31/guild-1974-bluesbird-m75/

Do the tuners look like this?

If so I think you'd be looing at Schaller M6 90s: https://schaller.info/en/m6-series/

Hans would know more if I'm wrong there.

Hello

On Schaller tuners the little screw that holds the knob also adjusts the tightness. Are you sure they are not too tight?
The same propably goes with other enclosed tuners.
