Gold tuner heads for slotted headstock

Phooto · Nov 19, 2012

Getting a uke made, but would like a slotted headstock. Trouble is, I also want gold tuning heads - preferably a fairly plain design. any ideas where I can get some?

I love these, but they are normal machine heads.

Only thing I've seen so far are for guitars, and even those are a bit fancy - and would need cutting down.

Look at open backed Gotohs made for slot pegheads. LMI has them.

Pono uses gold slotted head tuners on some of their models.

If you call Andrew Kitakis at Hawaiian Music Supply, he'd likely know where they get them (since his father owns Ko"Olau/ Pono)

Grover also do same thing as Gotoh

The main things to watch out for are having the string holes in the correct position, possibly having straight shafts on the string posts, not scooped as for paddle heads, and having the posts be long enough.
