New Tuner Buttons for my Nine-Year-Old BTO Taylor
« on: April 05, 2020, 06:31:03 PM »
I found these canary wood buttons on the Charis website and gave them a try. While canary wood is usually more yellow in color, I think that these buttons go well with the ovangkol headstock overlay. What do you think?

They match the top and fretboard very well.

Good eye Strumming Fool!! They match extremely well! Love the top of your guitar  :)

I’m not the designer, leave that to the other half.  I do think they pull the color from the truss cover, looks nice...

Thanks everyone!

All my Taylors have Gotoh 510s, and all but one use the wooden button replacements - I think they are attractive and quite practical as they don't tarnish with use like coated metal buttons.
