Upgrading my GSM.
« on: August 29, 2014, 07:20:30 PM »
Just put Gotoh 510 minis on my GSM and they look great! They seem to function better than the standard tuners as well.

Looking good! Gotoh's have a much better ratio than the ones that come on the mini.

Nice! It's cool to see all the upgrades folks are making to their mini's. A lot of love for these little guitars.

Did you have to modify the headstock or did they just drop in using the same pilot holes. Thinking I might do that to my mini.

The only modification is to drill the holes for the set screws. Only took about 45 min with removing the strings and restringing.

Nice looking tuners with that Mini.  Are they the Cosmo Black color?

Hi, I would like to install the same tuners on my Mini, can I just check the model number, so I don't order the wrong ones.

Are these the Gotoh SGS510Z tuners?

Cheers
