what is the exact reason people change tuners on their guitars. i never seemed to understand the reason, other than the pat answer that gotoh 510 are better. how so? also how do you pronounce go 2 or go toe?
I never understood the hoopla either ...until I ended up with them on one guitar. That was it ...this skeptic was sold. For the record, I never found any fault with the Taylor Pings, never had any tuning issues, never had a single complaint about their look or function. The Gotoh 510s are just smoother, and
far more precise. The fact the 510s have
zero gear lash make tuning down to pitch, or simply getting to pitch, easier and, dare I say, pleasurable. I am chuckling at myself for even saying that last part, but yes, turning these machines actually can put a smile on your face. Perhaps the best testament is replacing the machines on
two more guitars, simply because they are
that nice. Like i said, nothing wrong with the Taylor tuners; these are simply an upgrade, IMHO.
