Gotoh tuners going bad...
Posted: 15 Jun 2023 1:31 pm
Greetings Friends!
I've got a Fessenden SD-10 here with a couple Gotoh tuners that are malfunctioning in different ways.
1st string tuner's nut appears to be stripped as it won't tighten anymore. It's just the small screw on the outside and the string tension that keeps it in place.
2nd string's tuner will get "stuck" if I'm tuning down, then after more de-tuning will eventually "release" and drop way lower. No issues tuning up at this point.
I emailed Jerry Fessenden and he said he didn't have any more.
Curious if anyone here knows where I might be able to find some, the Gotoh's online now look a little different...
Bonus points if anyone in Nashville has any!
Thanks!
