Does anyone have a set of 3 per side tuners in black, not just the buttons, but the entire tuner. I'm replacing closed back factory tuners on a Tacoma. Maybe black chrome 510 Gotoh's or I'll consider just about anything else. Any thoughts?

StewMac sells a set of black tuners. I put a set of them on my last L-00. Seems like they are Gotoh, but I'm not positive about that.

Oops, I just checked and they are Schallers. Decent tuners though.

you will have to find a supplier in the US (as the one I use here in Toronto doesnt ship to the US) .. but I would certainly go for the 510s in what is called Cosmo Black, and then either get the contour button in contoured ebonoid or oval. You can also get the cosmo blk metal contour button as well (I think that whats SM sells .. not sure, I dont get mine there ....)

Sprezels come in black anodized. I've become fond of the cosmo (transparent black over a metallic base) black Gotohs.

I have some black sperzels in stock and I supply all of the GOTOH line so can get black as well. If you need prices, please PM me! Both Gotoh and Sperzel are quality tuners!

Gotoh makes a 'schaller style' tuner in black also.

I can't seem to post a pdf of the Gotoh's, the file might be too large. PM your e-mail address and I will e-mail you a page from the Gotoh Catalogue.

Thanks

Shane
