Worth Changing guitar machine heads?
Have a gibson sg which doesn stay in tune too well. It currently has those snot green tuning heads on it with gibson deluxce on the back of em (klusons i think theyre called?) but i was wondering if i changed them to gotoh, sperzel, shaller or gotoh locking tuners would it stay in tune better?
ive had it set up quite recently, the guy who did it is very good, he did some repair work on it before and he said the klusons should be ok but im just not sure, could it possibly be the bridge even? ive heard good things about graph tech hardware
The tuners aren’t the only things keeping the guitar in tune. I’d just get a setup from a professional (maybe around $30-50) and then see if it still stays in tune. If it doesn’t, then I’d suggest getting maybe new tuners.
