Grover "Milk Bottle" Rotomatic (103 Series) 3+3 Tuners with Pearloid Knobs

Excellent, the tuners that were on the guitar were locking and the hole was blocked to put the string through on 3 of the tuners. I don't have any use for locking tuners, they had to be replaced because I couldn't drill through the blocked holes.

These are no doubt fine machines, but I have a couple of complaints: 1) the "pearloid" knobs are hardly different from white plastic, and 2) they are HEAVY. So if you're thinking, like I did, that they'd look great on an acoustic/archtop, think twice about whether you want over a half pound of metal on your headstock. Plus, once you drill for these, there's no going back.

Great tuners, nice addition to my guitar.
Fast delivery six days to arrive in Australia.
I highly recommend these beauties, and the team at StewMac.

I bought the gold and pearloid tuning machines to replace a set when one of the tuning machines snapped while I was restringing my guitar. The tuners I replaced were not Grover's and were not as high of quality. The Grover Tuners fit to specifications and were easy to install. The Grover tuners are way more precise and has added much value (aesthetically and functionality) to my guitar.

Unfortunately in the set of Grover's I purchased one of the washers was deformed. I emailed Grover support explaining the issue and received 2 replacement washers a couple days later at no cost to myself. Now I'm just waiting for my next restring (no sense wasting guitar string!) to replace the rest of the tuners. [attached picture shows guitar head with new tuners and old tuners]

In the past, I purchased the chrome ones to replace Robo tuners on an SG. Absolutely love them. They have a very precise feel to them and they add an elegance to the guitar. Moving on, recently I purchased a custom black Les Paul. The machines that were stocked on this guitar work just fine. However, I wondered how good the gold version of these machine heads would look on this particular guitar. So, I pulled the trigger. Again, the precision and elegance that they add to this guitar is amazing. Highly recommend these.

I recently bought a Fender Kramer acoustic guitar. Love the vintage look and sound, but the tuners they put on this guitar look OK, not. Great, but ok. The problem is they are very stiff and difficult to turn, very hard to tune. Cheap!!!!
I wanted the vintage look of these milk bottles and the bonus is how well they work too! I love them. Now I have a great looking Fender with a big vintage style head and the best tuners in the industry. Thanks Grover, you saved my guitar.... See....
