Ebony tuner buttons

[Alan7170]

I've been poking around a bit on the internet as I want to install ebony tuner buttons on my Taylor chrome tuners (made by ping, I think?)...

There seems to be a lot of old info out there, and I am not sure I have found a source for buttons that would truly fit the tuners on my 314. Seems like some folks buy them to later find they do not fit correctly.

Can anyone provide a direct link to some ebony buttons for these tuners?

Thanks

cant find it now. An AGF-er makes outstanding looking buttons.

There are these in rosewood

But based on other info, I am unclear how they would fit all the brands they mention...I am really looking for ebony anyway...

Seen a post in the past AGF member selling ebony buttons price was around $40 plus shipping.

Stew-Mac has some. I'd really like to put some on my Epiphone Masterbilt. The tuners are Grover Sta-tites, and if I recall correctly from when I first researched it months ago, I think they should fit fine.

These fit my '95 612 perfectly.

Thanks for the links; I am not sure that these work. My 314 is new and Taylor is not using Grover's...I think the tuners are from a company called ping.

I found another thread that suggested Schaller buttons may fit, but what I am really hoping for is someone that has replaced the buttons on a newer set of Taylor chrome tuners...the hunt continues!

You may want to consider changing the tuners entirely and swap in Gotoh 510s with ebony buttons. The cost won't be all that much higher (well, 2x) and you'll have much improved tuners.
