Does anyone know what size bushings these take and where I can find them? These are the "sweetheart" style tuners that Ibanez used in the late 70's.
Thanks

I know the Gotoh style ones on the later models are 1/2 post and I know the ones with the sweet hearts are smaller than that, probably 3/8... I'll measure for you when I get home... |

I'd say the "sweetheart" tuner post is just under a half inch @ 12mm, and the Gotoh style is probably a little over the half inch @ 13mm, maybe as much as 9/16. Surprised. Now I'm going to have to bring home the calipers. Anyway, I hope that helps... Curious. Did you find yourself with a set of machines with no ferrules? |
