most reliable machine heads

[lkgwarrior]

hey guys, still deciding the little bits for my CS warrior. just wondering in your opinions what are the most reliable/highend/inovative machine heads. also i am wanting my hardware to be nickle do all the companies cater for nickle hardware colours?

cheers, lewis

Might be overkill if your having a locking nut, but you can't go wrong with sperzels

I believe at the least Schaller can give you full nickle hardware

(and sperzels aren't really overkill if you enjoy lazy stringups )

i was looking towards the sperzels, the only thing is having black nickel hardware is a must, iv got black nickel on my ESP M-ii CTM and i love it, it doesnt appear that the sperzel come in that colour tho (black nickel)?

To be fair, you didn't specify BLACK nickel in your first post. Grover makes Rotomatics in black nickel and I think Gotoh makes some tuners in that finish as well.

what about sperzel, i am pretty keen on the trim-lok model. the web site doesnt have colour names tho?

Sperzel does not have a black nickel finish to my knowledge.

cant comment on innovative or high end, but ive got OLD 70's grover tuners that still work as well as the day they were new.

I installed these tuners on my RR1T, and love the crap out of them. I like them more than Sperzels. I don't think they come in the black nickel finish though...

+another vote for Sperzel. I've upgraded at least half a dozen non-locking guitars with them and always been 100%

yeah id love to get the sperzel's but they dont come in black nickel, and the black nickel is a must for this order. looks as tho il have to get the Gotoh tuners, i know they come in black nickel, and iv got them on my esp M-ii, i would have liked something different tho.
