what Tuners are these? 
Can anyone ID these Tuners?
(Stephen - you may know; they are on that guitar I bought from you)

They're Sloane "Moresque" pattern tuners. They were discontinued a few years ago.

Sloane, the old lovely model that Sr. Vega cites.

That was the best design Sloane made, too bad it's discontinued. Same thing happens when I find a pair of shoes I like.....poof! Discontinued when I'm ready for another pair.

by "design" I'm not sure if you're speaking of aesthetics or mechanics, but as for mechanics, they're amazing. Zero "play", totally responsive..great look.

what a bummer to be discontinued..

The woven pattern on the plate and the outline of the plate are both very nice.


I should have swapped those out for Gotohs- DOH!

I've totally thought about stripping those tuners off that Berkov!

but the dimensions are totally different than standard. The rollers and screw holes aren't the same as Gotohs

The distance between rollers should be standard, but the screw hole placements are proprietary. I would save those and keep them if I were you, but on that guitar.
