A couple of years ago I found a good deal on a Taylor 322e 12 fret so I bought. It’s was a “new” demo model. No wear and tear at all. It’s a V Class. Looks new. Smelled new. Case is new. Sounds great. Tuning pegs suck! Particularly the D and B string tuners. They are notchy, gritty feeling and the black knobs keep coming loose. I have an older, non V Class 312ce 12 fretter. The tuners are great. The ones on the 322 are three on a plate and the black knobs are screwed to the tuning post. The 312 tuner are three individual tuners on each side and the white knobs are, I guess, epoxied on.
Anyway. Has anybody ran into this problem on a Taylor? Any solutions? Should I just replace the tuners? If so with what?
Thanks!!
