was just wondering, wats the difference between normal tuners on a guitar and other tuners(eg: Gotoh)? does it hold strings in tune longer or what?

i think branded tuners are of better quality with better gear ratios, etc for accurate tuning.

And they are made from quality steel/aluminium/graphite/carbon/etc materials..

I love using them for the tuning stability and also their gears works smoothly unlike those chepo tuner heads where you will have a hard time turning em...

Yes..... Good tuners makes all the difference. My ZW-LP Custom comes with Grover tuners and they are very stable in terms of tuning and re-tuning. My LP-100 uses the regular tuners and it's usually all over the place. Plan to replace them with grovers soon too.

Wow...my LP Custom Black comes with a korean made stupid rubbish tuners that cant stand the beating of super duper high bending using .11 gauges...

I've change to black color Planet Waves ones...got it at a nice price during year end sale at CK last year...

Best if you can get Locking Tuners..... like the Grovers.... will be willing to try some other brand like Gotoh or Schaller.... if they can last.....

And Antonio...... did you get the Planet Waves with the string cutting ones???

Yerp...string cutting and locking strings as well.....

I got no digicam to take pics of my gears.... thats why havent show'ed up anything in the pictures showoff threads....hahahahahaa

You can always borrow someone's camera phone.

How does the string cutting work? Does it hold up?

hehhee..camera phone dont do justice to my precious gears...hahhahaha

btw ihas a slight high edge and if you see from the side as you turn the string will meet up to that high edge and as you turn hard the string will be automaticlly cut and you just keep on turning until you're in tune...
