Alternative to Hipshot Ultralites?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been thinking to put lighter tuners on my Peavey TL-Six e since it's top-heavy as most 6ers.... the only ones I've found that seem to fit (original ones are Gotoh GB-7 style) are Hipshot ultralites.... but the price in Germany is absolutely ridiculous (about 40 $ per tuner for the gold version).

Is there an alternative out there or does anyone know where I can find them for cheap?

Thanks, folks!

You might be able to order them from a US Vendor and have them shipped to Germany. In the US.

Alternatively, eBay has a seller:

The only other lightweight tuners I've ever seen that would rival these are the Gotoh Resolite 350s, and those will cost you considerably more:
