I was looking at some tuners on Stewmac and noticed some descriptions stated for slotted pegheds while others did not. Does that mean you need to get special tuners for slotted headstocks? They look similar to me but I am not a luthier.
Thanks, I like the price of the Grover Sta-Tites but I don't see the Nickel w/ Black Buttons for the slotted headstock. I see the one for Waverly but very pricey for the nickel-ebony. I assume you guys use the guitar size ones vs. ukulele size since I don't see any mention of ukulele tuners for slotted headstocks.
If anyone has any they would like to sell, PM me. Thank you
It is fairly easy to swap out the chrome buttons on the Sta-Tites for others, including the black plastic replacement buttons that Stew-Mac sells. You'll need a heat gun to melt the glue that holds the chrome buttons on and then to heat the shaft in order to melt the new button on.
I recall that Gordon at Mya Moe posted on UU Forums said, when he was asked six months ago about the Schertler tuners used on Mya Moe ukes, that they are guitar Schertlers.
