Tuning Keys

[rawlsjk]

Hey everyone, are there any franchise music stores that sell tuning keys? I contacted the manufacturer of my bass (Raven West Guitars) and they don't sell their parts separately. So, my next move was to see if anyone else sells them. Thanks in advance for you time and assistance. Peace!

You'd do much better to try buyin on line rather than from a chain. Lower prices, bigger selection, better products:

There are 2 basic styles of tuning keys - sealed like the Gotoh's (yours) and open gear like the Schallers (Fender). Inside of the sealed tuner realm, I've seen tuners that had the bushing thread on the outside of the gear casing and also the opposite. The diameters should be the same or similar. The other consideration for you is getting 4 for the left and 2 for the right. Several of the parts houses sell tuners individually for making sets to match odd combinations like this.

Good Luck

Also, the wonderfully (usually) helpful people at Warmoth can answer specific questions.
