Machine Heads Tuners Tuning Machines Elephant Ears

[nollaig]

Hey folks

I've searched through but can't find a definitive thread on this - pin me somewhere else if you can!

I'm looking for a set of "Elephat Ear" machine heads for a 1999 Squier Affinity remodelling. The headstock is a beast so although the stock tuners have a rectangular base there's room to drill and fit the more common trapezoid bases. I've looked at various options and I've narrowed it down to these:

Schaller BML Vintage - £58

Hipshot HB2 - £53

Grover 142C - £48 (although they're 2L + 2R but you can change the direction, can't you?...)

Gotoh GB-4N - £47

Kluson MF4LN - £39

or Fender - £55

Votes, comments, help?

I fitted Schallers to my Squier and never had any problems. They've now been retro fitted to a Yamaha BB414, and still no probs.
