Der Jung Tuners/ Zebulon Turrentine

I replaced the standard tuners on my Yamaha with some Der Jung that I purchased from Zebulon Turrentine. He also offers an install kit that I purchases and it was excellent.

Several months ago I visited Zeb's shop and had him install the same set of Der Jung tuners on a flamenco guitar. They are inexpensive, smooth, of fine quality, and seem to be as functional as any tuners I have used. It was a pleasure to visit Zeb's shop and see the quality of his guitar work.

They certainly look nice for the price. I noticed something I've never seen before, which is the installation kit. Interestingly, it includes a dowel to plug the holes. Are these tuners made with a non-standard hole spacing, i.e., something other than 35mm? The web site did not say what the roller spacing is.

Can’t remember the exact spacing but not all the holes from the Yamaha tuners lined up.

I upgraded the tuning machines on an inexpensive and old Yamaha classical with the same ones from Der Jung.

A friend hopped into my car and, upon seeing just the headstock sticking out from under a blanket in the back seat, asked me "Why are you transporting this expensive guitar without a case?!"

This person works for a guitar company and owns custom classical guitars. The Yamaha was one of those $120 models that didn't have the logo on the headstock.
