Kluson MK6RB Round Back mechanics set with oval wings for lefthand instruments or reversed headstocks in black version.
Kluson MK6RB Round Backs Oval 6R BlackThese are excelent tuners for the price.they are the perfect upgrade or make a great choice for peoplet hinking of doing home build guitars.this, and a first class service and delivery make this a 5 star rating from me on all fronts.
I have tried Kluson tuners before and I think they are pretty good.
I have used them to replace the tuners on my Deering Goodtime 2 banjo and here is what I notice as an upgrade:
- the ratio of the Klusons is 18:1 its pretty good for a banjo
- the Kluson tuners are heavier and the diecast metal is better tooled in my opinion
- the Kluson tuner buttons feels better, the metal is more smooth and rounded, there is no sharp edges
I got these to replace my Ibanez tuners (I was doing an "all gold" hardware transplant) and I was worried these tuners wouldn't be that good because they were inexpensive. I didn't need to worry...they're a great set of tuners.
The mounting screws (under the headstock) are a bit soft, so be careful when screwing them into the guitar's head or you'll strip the philips head screws.
