View Full Version : Need Recommendation - Replacement Tuning Machines

I own a Sheryl Crow model Country & Western and really enjoy it. However the tuning machines seem really cheap for a $2K instrument. Since I buy a guitar to play rather than to collect, I'm not concerned about maintaining its authenticity.

Could someone recommend a high quality replacement tuner that would fit into the existing holes? Visually, I am partial to the green tulip (e.g. on a Les Paul), or the chrome "butter bean" styles. Any suggestions? Thx in advance.

Welcome, CAl. What tuner does that guitar have on it? Are they the square box Schallers that look somewhat like Klusons?

I just received a nice set of Kluson repros from wdmusicproducts.com for a J160E and they are so smooth.
