Those actually look really good. I have a feeling I might end up fiddling around with them more than I should be playing at the other end. Could you give us a shot(photo)from behind?!

I like the look of those Gotoh's. They would look perfect on my blacked-out Bird.

I still have a set of Gibson tuners in black similar to those cool Gotoh's. I had planned to put them on my other Bird but sold it instead.

I found some chrome...


... some exceptionally loud chrome, in the form of a Rolls Royce Griifon and a Rolls Royce Merlin...

I don't suppose that counts, does it...?

Thought not...

Shall I go away now...?

I can take a hint...

Occasionally...

When the winds blowing in the right direction...

SHUT...! UP...!

:sad:

Just because I like my black pups on my RD...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Semi-bad news, seems that my tech will have to go Mark's route and enlarge the holes in the headstock to fit the tuners. After much deliberation, I gave him the go-ahead to do it. Now he needs to check if the can splay them enough so they don't hit, he's worried about the G tuner.

Dave,

 I'm not so good with the whole woodworking thing (I truly admire those that have the skills) but I managed to change them myself with nothing more than a few basic tools and some time. I certain your luthier can do it............ ;)

Yeah, he'll do fine. I was a little disappointed as I didn't want to drill more than I had to on this one, but I know it's a keeper. Plus I have a set of 70's covers right now and if I can't get the cash for Lull's, I'll have to drill three new holes for these covers....plus the rings.  ;D
