Don't forget that you can tune a guitar but you can't tuna fish.

I opted for these for my custom flamenco negra build, amazing tuners. So smooth and solid.

I would go with Rogers too if money was no object but I have used Sloanes on a few guitars and they are indeed very nice tuners.

I like Scheller tuners--the extra turn on the worm, and the mesh and fit of the gears with the worm, make for very smooth and accurate tuning.

I'm putting a set of Alessi tuners on a classical build for a customer. From a design and materials standpoint, they are the finest I've ever seen. The craftsmanship is stellar and they work beautifully.
