Machine tuners

I think many many builders and manufacturers use them.

I also think there's a lot of talk here about them if you try using the search button.

Quality: debated depending on preference and taste
Value: debated depending on preference and taste
Impact on Tone: debated depending on preference and taste

Personally, I have Hipshot tuners and bridges on two of my higher end basses, and cheapo's off of ebay on my heavily modded Schecter. All function fine.
