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.

Could you make the picture bigger [size] I can't see the damn thing.

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

[:D][:D][:D]

you funny Faulk

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!



turnermoran -> RE: what Tuners are these? (Jan. 10 2013 22:30:08)

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



estebanana -> RE: what Tuners are these? (Jan. 10 2013 22:41:02)

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.



turnermoran -> RE: what Tuners are these? (Jan. 14 2013 16:26:11)

indeed..these tuners will live on the guitar for good
