What model did you get Todd?

Todd, I have used them on my ladder guitars and they work fantastic. I'm not crazy about the look either but they are very smooth and feel just as acurate and smooth as the waverly's. I'm looking for someone to make a nice plain no-frills quality 3-on-a-plate vintage style steel tuner.

Todd,

I have a few of these sets in stock. Unfortunately Gotoh has only this colour scheme, ie you can't get this set in nickel. They do have a range of buttons though. Let me know what you are after and I can look it up and see what we can get. I will enquire about getting this tuner in nickel.

I used these Gotoh SEP700 tuners on Jack the Lad - individual rather than 3 on a plate - and I'm very impressed. Great tuners for the money. If they came with ebony (wood) buttons I'd be a very happy camper indeed:

Yes, I like those Gotohs too, Dave. I've started using them having discovered that the post spacing was irregular on the National 3-on-a-plate that I was using. Apart from those Nationals and the expensive Waverleys the only nickel (or maybe chrome) 3-on-a-plate I've found that weren't cheap and nasty are Schallers.

Looks exactly like the Hauser Classical tuners.  Probably is the same without the plastic sleeve.  I sure wasn't impressed with the finish.  Looks pretty dull.

They are a flat brass finish on the plate ..its supposed to look like that. I have some and like them a lot - they are as solid as the waverly 3 on a plate I had, and for 1/3 the price. Not the same look though ....

You can get any of the Gotoh classic styles with metal SS posts ... thats what these are.
