I just tried to go to the website bridgebonebeads.com to purchase Rubner tuners, and I got a weird index and something about a server being hacked. Does anyone know what is up, and has anyone ordered tuners from them recently? Wendy |

I have a few sets of the ones with the Teflon bushings, and might be willing to sell a set or two. I got them directly from Rubner. You can order direct from them, but it probably isn't worth it unless you order more than one or two sets. I think I bought 4 sets. I'm not currently using them on my builds, though there is nothing mechanically wrong with them. The ones I have are sort of middle of the road price wise. PM me if you are interested, and I can send you a couple of pictures. |

Yes, and they are 15:1 instead of 16:1. I never thought it'd make a difference, but it does. Now I only use Sloane's or Gotoh Premiums. I'm considering trying the Gotoh Professionals, but I'm not crazy about all the engraved salad on the plates. I wish they'd make a plain tuner with no engraving. I like plain, or tastefully engraved with simple designs. Gilbert's are good too, but the industrial look isn't appreciated in the market so much. |

Hey, thanks for all the answers. I don't need any tuners at this time, I was just looking and ran into the problem with the website. They seem to be back up now. I appreciate the offer to sell yours Waddy, but not in need right now, and thanks for the link Douglas. I wish I could afford the high end tuners, but for my budget and my early level of guitars, I think the Rubners are a good choice. |
