Chienmortbb Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Surely one of the Gotoh ranges would be good. Are you going lightweight? If so something in Gotohs Resolites range would be good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better ratio tuners about and its the screw hole placement that I'm trying to get exact as I didn't want to drill new holes while leaving existing holes showing.

Chienmortbb Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I believe that many Far East Fenders have machine heads from two makers , Ping and s name I cannot remember. Although the machine heads fitted to the Aerodyne are OK, they are not to Gotoh's usual standard. I am fitting the GB350 res-o-lites but they are not traditional elephant ears.
