?Hi all,

Anyone know or have an idea about where I can find parts for Gotoh classical tuners? I lost a cap nut off the tuner button of a Gotoh model SGSPEC450 classical tuner and have come up empty on internet searches. Here's a picture of the tuner:

The lack of this item causes the button to buzz on certain notes, plus I'm afraid that I will lose the button at some point. I suspect that Gotoh uses the same nut on other model tuners. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Max

Yusuke Kawakami here in Vancouver is the Gotoh rep I believe. He may also be able to help....
