What are some decent tuning keys to upgrade to?

Paul First to check is the windings. You quoted "having a fair amount of windings". Too many windings will also cause tuning problems. Make sure it is a max of 3 turns.

Second, if the tuners have screws on the end of the knob snug them up a little. They cause more friction to help hold the post in place better.

Third, make sure you are stretching the strings by pulling up a little in the middle of each then re-tune them.

You got some good recommendations on tuners so I won't go there.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/les-paul-tuning-keys/#post-159741 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/les-paul-tuning-keys/#post-159736 Thu, 16 Feb 2006 02:30:52 +0000
With some of my other guitars I can turn the tuner a good quarter turn before noticing any change in pitch.

The Schallers however move when you look at them hard. Meaning they have great response and are solid tuners.
