I can't do three on a side headstocks without inadvertently doing a forward roll.

so late to the party right ? feels like i've had my head stuck in the mud for months and now slowly getting back on track playing, checking gear, reading shortscale. i actually had no idea this came out in autumn..or if i heard, wasn't interested in gear.

That's what I have on my Duo Sonic, and I love them! Great tuners!!

I'd like to put white button Schaller F tuners on the Mustang, but it would require drilling out the headstock a bit - something I'd rather let a good tech do. Unfortunately, they're not a direct drop-in replacement for the mid 60s to mid-70s era Fender F tuners.... which are quite possibly the worst tuners known to man. You can't take them apart to lube them, and they stick and catch and generally feel unresponsive and un-smooth. I hate them.

I don't like the 90s ones that much, I've said that many times before. But anything that was wrong with them, they've fixed by now. The problem was never basswood. It was hardware and overall lack of attention to detail IMO. Blindfolded, nobody would know the difference between a poplar and a basswood MG69 now.

Pings work fine for me. All split tuners have worked fine for me. Tuners generally hold tune. Certainly any stock tuner on a Fender can hold tuning. It's the rest of the guitar that's usually at fault when things go out of tune.

Tell that to the guitar-feature-experts interweb lynch squad.

Shit some of the higher gurus can probably tell you about sonic difference between Fiesta Red and Lake Placid Blue. (fight)))

Well I ordered an LPB just now from AMS. Can't wait!

Your quote's got mangled: I hate basswood. I may have mentioned this before...
