All of them work well, though the Landstorfers are getting a little stiff. I think the talk about Fusteros may be as much about tradition as anything. Essentially all the Spanish makers used them for many years. Fustero recently went out of business, but may have come back, so those who are accustomed to using them are interested in how they might get new ones. RNJ

The drawback is that they are not as solid, smooth and precise as other more recent tuners: technically speaking a set of Gotoh at the same price are far superior.

Very nice aesthetics definitely but as others have mentioned you can find others that are smoother in tuning.

I love my Fusteros and the older one is as smooth as any Japan, German or American made I've ever tried. The newest one was made right before the shop closed but the prettiest of all. It looks almost three dimensional compared to the old one. I wish I can post some pics from my iPhone but it's saying they're too large.
