Black Tuner Buttons for RainSong WS3000
I've got a RainSong WS3000 on it's way (this will be my first CF guitar) and I'm already thinking that it would look better with black (composite, plastic, or even ebony) tuner buttons. Anyone know a good source for something that would fit the tuning machines on the RainSong 12 string?

I don't want to flood the guy (jrporter) with Private Messages.
When you find out, can you post where black tuning buttons can be had for a Rainsong Shorty? I like the looks of them and have a Shorty with factory chrome ones that I would like to replace, too. Thank you.

OK, Y'all. If and when I find a source, I'll post it here for all to see.

Looking around I found ebony tuning buttons, and a few other types, here at Stewart MacDonald:
http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tuners/T...xst=3&xsr=2047 The video link at the above site that shows how buttons can be replaced is also very interesting.

...and then there are these for a few more $$:
