I've been a classical guitar player since 2000, and the Taylor's tuners rank up there with the worst slothead tuners I've used. They so stiff, I don't even bother tuning until things sound awful...really! I could futz around with them, but don't really feel like it's worth bothering.
Has anyone used Waverly tuners on their Taylor slotheads? Google results were mostly about Martins and Waverlys, so let me know if you've had luck on your Taylor slothead.....Please.
