I notice that nicholsinlay does not use a metal insert on the rosewood model. Is that going to be an issue with wear over time?

Mine have only been on for a few months so I don't know about wear, they do look good though and there's no sloppy feel without the insert.

And speaking of my custom, I'm digging the Gotoh 510s on it. So, will soon be upgrading my K24ce to those in antique gold. Haven't decided on the knob color yet, but the custom already has gold knobs, so may go the black route on the K24ce.

I had originally ordered my K24e with antique gold Gotohs with black buttons. They look really nice, and feel good to the touch. Just my $.02

Thanks, have decided on the black. Just goes well with the headstock etc.

When I wanted Gotoh tuners for my 12 I called Taylor and they told me to go to    Stew-Mac.com .They not only look classy but really tune nice I find, smooth and real fine tuning .
