I've used at least a hundred sets of them, and never once encountered a single tuner with slop in the action. Every single one has been perfect. I haven't used that many sets of the Schertlers, but the same holds true-- every one of them so far has had super precise action. And they look great- sort of a cross between vintage and modern.
I guess I don't pay that much attention to the tuners, but my purchase last year had Gotoh 510s. I had to make almost a full turn of the G string tuner before it would engage. I sent the company an email. They said they couldn't help but referred a US distributor to contact. He couldn't/wouldn't do anything either. No one has one treble side tuner laying around and the company wouldn't do anything. The only solution that they offered was for me to buy a full set of tuners. Some customer service!

That’s too bad. I’ve done at least 6-8 Gotoh upgrades with the 510’s on guitars I have owned and it’s always been a big improvement in performance and ease of use plus I like the aesthetic of the Gotoh’s. I always bought mine from Stew-Mac and I believe if I had any issue, they would immediately take care of it.
