Machine Pegs

Does anyone out there use machine pegs, or tried a guitar fitted with them?
They seem like a great idea if they work well, but they also seem to be very expensive.

Do you know of a supplier in the UK or Europe?

Hey Kevin i have tried them before. To be honest i didnt think they were all that and once you have fit them you cant just go back to and put normal pegs in easily. they are more for looks than anything else.

Krichards: Hi, The planetary pegs work great and planetarypegs.com ships them anywhere on the planet. They are not expensive at all compared to middle of the road tuning machines. I have them on 3 of my guitars.
