Who make & where can I get plain & simple open back 3 on a plate tuners for slotheads with no engraving and such. I have seen them on guitars but cannot find a source. |

I've wondered what the cheaper replacement tuners for National Guitars look like. Look at the bottom of this page: http://www.nationalguitars.com/accessories.html The more expensive "Vintage Style" tuners have engraving on the plate, which you can see better at Elderly Instruments' site: http://www.elderly.com/accessories/items/NVT1.htm |

John, if I'm not crazy, (which is a big IF) I think Gotoh makes some like what you are seaking. I once bought some black chrome 3 on a plate tuners from them and they had no embelishments on them. Hope that helps. |

It's very possible that they do but I sure can't find them. And they don't seem to see the need for a web presence. |

Grover has a three on a plate style, but not open back. In horizontal and vertical. They have the little cover with the oil hole. I liked those Elderly National type, good looking even with the engraving. The Grover three on a plate are Kluson style. Elderly has those made with the Kluson name on them, still covered like the old Gibsons had. Another thing that Elderly had was interesting, Waverley tuners. I thought that was a StewMac exclusive? |

I've looked hard for something like what you're describing, John, but the only ones I found were of such poor quality that they're not even worth mentioning. How I wish Waverly would make some nice, but simple, 3-on-a-plate tuners for slotheads (are you StewMac guys listening?  ) ! I'm not aware of anything like this by Gotoh, but they may have come out with something since I last looked. If you find anything good, please let me know!
