  • was there such a thing as brass gotoh tuners?

    Regarding tuners on a San Dimas, when they're not black, the ones I've seen are much more brassy looking than these gold gotoh tuners
    at stewmac.

    Also on the vintage tuners, the tuning heads look they've been nicely worn down to a nickel like color. I'm trying to build a replica, and those gold ones at stewmac just won't do. What's the story behind the vintage tuners and where can I get them? (3 oclock mount)

    I think they are just worn down to nothin'. Buy an old Kramer and part out the rest to me!

            They were just gold plated nickel. If the tuners were actually made out of solid brass, they'd be all nasty looking today, green and black.... ewwwwwww.

              Greg, unlike most people on this board, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to metals, wood, finishes, etc. I'm also a complete hack in the workshop. I spend most of my time looking for tools or parts that I set down not more than 1 minute ago. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

              I'm kind of like Travis
