Title: What brand of headstock tuner fit Taylor guitars?
Post by: crazyfingers on March 06, 2018, 11:54:52 AM

HI folks, I have a 2017 Taylor 224ce Koa and I would like to change the silver tuners for a set of gold tuners but not getting a lot of info on the sites that sell the tuners.  I want to get a brand that drops right into the existing headstock holes so I don't have to drill new holes, any ideas?  Would like something like a 510 either bright gold or antique would be fine, 18/1 or 21/1 ratio but not locking type.  Can anyone help.?

I would think the ones from Taylor would fit.

Go to this page, then pick Gold for color.

If you want to go with the Gotoh 510, then a pilot hole will need to be drilled to accept the set screw. You do not have to drill out the head stock hole to put the 510's on. Here's a link: http://www.japarts.ca/Gotoh/Gotoh-Products-SG510.asp
I also attached a picture to show the set screw on the back of the head stock.
