Thanks Steve!
Thanks for the info Steve.
This axe will not look all that traditional. Not with the bevels, port, Wedge, etc. I do want tuners that are very smooth and stable with comfy buttons. Traditional Looks are perhaps less important to me than to John. I would aim for work GREAT and look decent. Hahaha That said, I DO want to keep him happy! Hope you and Ryan are having FUN. Your current builds are sure pretty! Paul

Yes, the 3500 series, like these:

Another vote for Alessi. I have 2 guitars with them and they are pretty perfect. It is a one man company, so you need to talk to Niccolo and see what he has in stock or have him build something for you specifically. He has also a light weight model which is pretty good looking. They are hand made and very well regarded, so it fits on a high end luthier made guitar.

These are nice!

I like the simple look of these lightweight Alessis! And light weight is a big plus in my opinion. The ornate engraved plates on so many tuners do not call to me. Not sure why, but that is my taste, I guess. The price is a bit of a hurdle, tho... Thanks for the info! Gee the Custom Shop is a font of knowledge!!! Always more to learn Cheers Paul

Paul, Niccolo Alessi can go as simple as you’d like. Here is a set he made for our 100th guitar, built to commemorate my Granddad’s little parlor instrument:
IMG_1624331924.931411.jpg Simple, rectangular nickel silver plates, chosen to replicate the originals. Keep in mind the extra strength that a 3-on plate tuner offers to a slot head. Those exterior walls are thin, and fragile as a consequence, and the added strength of the metal plate is a real bonus in this regard. |
