I use these great black body enclosed tuners. The one drawback is the miserable zebrano button fitted to them. After 2 days playing around with the CNC machine and rigging my drill up as a mill and my combo linisher/disc sander as a profile sander, I managed to figure out all of the procedures for replacing these nasty little round buttons with a subtle ellipse... The production piece will also recess the ugly screw so it sits just above the surface. Need to figure out a holding jig for 'brush' finishing these on a polisher....
