You gotta try the Gilbert tuners. Now those are some nice tuners. Waverly's are definitely nothing to complain about. Of course the Gilbert tuners cost way more.
Have you tried Gilbert Tuners? I don't really know much about tuners..
having played with both, waverly's are made of metal while Gilberts are composites. Gilbert tuners are lighter than waverly's by a huge marginYeah, those are nice too. Don't know that I'd swap out Waverly's for them though Both are great, Gilberts are heavier, going to add weight to a headstock.

Waverly tuners are extremely heavy. The Gilberts that I have one there now are way lighter. Also those tuners lock better than waverly's and keep it better in tune.

The Gilberts are lighter but they are ugly!!!!
I'm going to have to give them another shot. Last time I played them the headstock was real heavy, and the guy told me it was b/c of the Gilbert tuners. Never held them by them self. Cool to know that they are lighter

Finally; as a dork, to me the gilberts look like something from transformers hahaha. Winner, winner, chicken dinner for me.
