                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I like my Gotoh's... quite smooth and reasonable price.  They are no Sperzel's but thay are ok for the price.<br><br>I agree it can be an absolute bugger to find ones with the exact matching position for the fixing screw.  Took me a few months to find a set of 6 with the screw in the 5 o'clock position.  Not even my trusted local guitar shop had them !]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The tuners you buy will have specified measurements for the capstan hole -- vintage tuners with press-in ferrules had/have smaller capstan holes than do modern style tuners with screw-in ferrules. Remove one of your tuners to check the hole size. If you have vintage style tuners (doubt it), you will need to carfully enlarge the capstan hole for these new tuners. The small holes on the back of the headstock for the "anti-rotation" screws are almost never in the same place unless one buys exact make and model replacements. We drill new holes for those. If not too close to the newly-needed hole, the old hole can be leave as is (might want to change back to old tuners!), or filled with wood (toothpicks) and wood glue, cut flush and touched up with auto touch up paint.<br><br>One more thing: Make sure you are buying the correct format tuners: either 6-in-a-line (like Fender) or 3-and-3 (like Gibson or acoustic guitar) or 4-and-2 (Ernie Ball and Music Man).]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey All,<br><br>   I got my rg2ex1 (in white)  and have been playing it for a week and it is definitely fun to play.  I would like to do something things to customize it now. <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-RE2EX1-Electric-Guitar?sku=519783">http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Ibanez-RE2EX1-Electric-Guitar?sku=519783</a><br><br>Probably get new knobs for it  <a href="http://yhst-50206111187217.stores.yahoo.net/blteknrepesh.html">http://yhst-50206111187217.stores.yahoo.net/blteknrepesh.html</a><br><br>I was wanting to get some new tuners and was looking at these:<br><a href="http://yhst-50206111187217.stores.yahoo.net/gosttufitubl.html">http://yhst-50206111187217.stores.yahoo.net/gosttufitubl.html</a><br><br>What I was wondering is if what the quality of these tuners are?  would they be as good as my current ones or worse/better?  I was wanting these for cosmetic reasons because they'd look cool on my white guitar.  On the other hand, locking tuners are only a few dollars more.<br><br>Thanks All!]]></content:encoded>
