He's been looking for some. I have some Greco tuners, off a 1975-ish LP copy, but they are probably not any better than the star tuners you have on there now. Mine are also the two-screw type (one screw above, one below).   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 12:54 am:    yeah, mine are also one screw above and one below, any idea who makes a replacement that fits that is good?? jazzz   Snowjays Username: Snowjays Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 8:49 pm:    Jazz, I used a set of Gotoh with the single screw hole underneath on one of my LP's. But you still gotta look at one empty screw hole, but no drilling extras.   Chucke99 Username: Chucke99 Registered: 2-2007 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 9:55 pm:    Here's a pic of my Greco tuners. I have them 3x3, with the mounting screws too. As I said, they won't be any better, probably, than the star tuners.   Spiro Username: Spiro Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 2:51 am:    easy fix! Just buy the gotoh straight down screw tuners and have someone fabricate the bit that extends above! probably cost you about $20 to have these little plates made up..Then you could use the 510 gotohs without ant sightly holes   Jazzzbo Username: Jazzzbo Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 - 1:58 am:    im wondering about the quality of gotohs, i really likeed the m6 shallers i put on my artist, jazzz
