Tuner Buttons
« on: June 13, 2017, 03:12:39 PM »
Just an F.Y.I.
 Charis Acoustic has launched a tuner button store online. Several configurations of wooden replacement buttons for Gotoh 510's.
A little costly but some nice exotic woods. Check em out!   https://www.charisacoustic.com

If you think the tuner buttons are nice, take a look at some of the guitars the guy is building... :o

Beautiful!!!

On my two Larrivee guitars I switched the factory Ping tuners for Gotoh 510's and love them. I've been debating switching my new Taylor 814CE factory tuners to Gotoh 510's as well and I think you just made my mind up :) If I do switch my factory tuners to the Gotoh 510's I'll be buying a set of these wooden buttons to go on them :)

Only concern or question I have is about since my factory Taylor tuners do not have screws to hold them in place on the headstock so would it be difficult to install these? Since I'll be having to obviously drill holes for the Gotoh tuner screws? I can't remember but do the Gotoh 510's have a notch in the back to line up properly with factory tuners so you easily know where to drill for the screws?

Opinions or thoughts?

Geez. This just tears it for me. I need to reopen my business, come out of a medical disability retirement, and replenish my G.A.S. money account! Seriously. Between these guitars and the Taylors I'm lusting after I basically have no choice! Life is too short, right?

Nice, but what if you want to keep your Taylor tuners but change the buttons?
