Is there such a beast as nickel open back tuners with a brass gear and real ebony knobs? Could live without brass gear... |

Stew mac sells Waverly tuners that are nickel with a brass gear and ebony knobs. |

Ed: Look in the tutorial section for the Chris Paulick info on taking the regular knobs off Grover Sta-Tites and replacing them with ebony knobs. Tom |

I think the hardest part of that combination is the real ebony button. Waverly is the only tuner I know of that can be bought with a stock ebony button, but that is the high end of the price range. Second best option would probably be Gotoh's with the synthetic button. |

Schertler tuners have real Ebony knobs. Rubner also have an Ebony knob option, but they mostly make classical tuners, their steel string offerings are somewhat limited. |

LMII has open back tuners with a brass gear. I don't think they have an ebony knob. I have used several sets and they nice and reasonably priced. |

Are they making Schertlers in nickel now? Does the post bear on an aluminum plate? |
