Title: Tuner Knobs on a 354-CE?
Post by: robberns on May 06, 2016, 12:18:07 PM

Just picked up a used 2005 354-CE 12-String and want to put some of the ebony tuner knobs on it.
I see the Schaller ones at Stew-Mac, just not sure if I could use the large or small ones on the Taylor tuners?
Thanks for any advice-

Hi.  I'm going to send you here:

I did a lot of research, a lot of machine head and button changes, and posted a lot of photos, so I won't repeat myself here :-)  If you want to know something specific, or you want more photos etc, just let me know...

Oh - just to be clear. Schaller Small on mini tuners (probably on your 12 string), Schaller Large on Taylor Standard tuners...

Thanks George.
I actually ordered the Schaller mini buttons from Stew-Mac, and they do fit the Taylor tuners on the 12-String.
My guess is that the Taylor tuners are an OEM from Schaller.
Anyway, they fit and they look cool!

I have the mini ones from Stewmac as well.  They look and work great!

That looks terrific. Not much else to say, other than I admire your taste :-)
