BubbaVO Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 3) Those tuner knobs are even uglier in person (although the guitar as a whole is better looking in person than any pics I've seen). How someone can spend time coming up with a shape with such nice curves and put those angular monstrosities on them is beyond me (and, yes, I think they look ugly on Gibsons too ). Really? I love those-been wondering who has them aftermarket. Anyone have any ideas? I need 4-6 of em! +1 I have to admit, I like them.

Yeah, I'm well aware I'm in the minority on that, but I just can't stand tulip-style tuner knobs (plastic or metal on any guitar. In terms of the tuners, they're just Tonepros klusons. They seem to work nice and Tonepros has them in 2 models so you can use 'em to replace vintage tuners or modern ones (with larger tuner holes). -Austin

Actually, I agree with you on the Talledega. I took a brain fart/was doing three things at the same time and read that to mean that you didn't like the SPEED KNOBS. Duh!I love the speed knobs. While I usually don't mind the snot and nickel tuners, I think that they'd look better with Grovers or something.

And I know it's irrational to care about the output jack, but I love the electrosocket too. -Austin
ceeb Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'm with you on the tuners. They don't look right on a modern guitar.
BTMN Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Tonepros owns and makes Klusons now. I love the Schallers like these. Not sure Schaller still makes them. I would LOVE a Standard with a set.
rooster69f Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Yeah, I can't believe you got it for that either. I took my eye off it! Glad to see it went to one of you guys, though!
