skej21 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I want to buy some black, clover-shaped tuners, but I can't seem to get the spec to match up with the existing tuners. The existing tuners are 13mm (1/2 inch) tuning post with a 17mm hole with a screw-in bushing (also 17mm). However, most replacement tuners are 13mm (1/2 inch) by 18mm (11/16") or 10mm by 14mm. Does this mean I would have to source a 17mm screw-in bushing and then buy the 13mm tuners separately? Or could I buy the tuners and the 18mm screw-in bushing that comes with them and make them fit with a bit of modding (i.e. sandpaper or something?) Help please! I'll be eternally grateful Thanks in advance. Edited May 12, 2011 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Tough one. This is the closest I can find but they are no name and not in black.

Prime_BASS Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Could try emailing overwater, as they might be able to provide tuners to suit the your guitar or at least provide you with contact info to their supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
