Default 510's on Blackbird Savoy

Got these from Joe yesterday. Yes I paid for them. I might be wrong but I think these might be an upgrade option or these are going to be standard issue. He said he ordered 10000 of them or something. Either way they look sweet!

Those look great, and are what I would ask for on a Savoy. A little hard to tell in the pics...are they Cosmo Black (my fav)?

Did you find the stock 16:1 Gotoh tuners unsatisfactory?

I don't think they were unsatisfactory. I just like the 18:1 better as well as the head on the 510s vs the 381

Was thinking bout doing the same. Did you get full size ones or the medium or mini 510s? I wasn’t sure if full would fit. I was thinking about 21:1 version but they only seem to come in full size

I have the 510 minis in Cosmo Black on my Emerald Chimaera. I like them for the same reasons you do...the look and feel is great.

I actually don't know what size they are. I just asked Joe to send the ones that would swap with the originals.

Given the relationship of the size of the tuners to the smaller headstock on your Savoy, looking at mine on my Chimaera, also 1:18, yours look to be exactly the same.

I have the 510 minis on another guitar, and the buttons remind me of Shrek's ears.

Maybe I should have asked if they had the tuners in green
