Hi all

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a decent set of tuner pegs for dreadnought kit
Probably looking to spend up to £50

Thanks in advance :)

Regular Gotoh from lmi are nice for about $30. And the premium Gotoh 510 starting about $70 are super nice! Depends what look/weight you want.

+1 for Gotoh 510s and 510 deltas. They have very smooth, precise operation. They do look very modern, which may turn some folks off. You can't beat the price to quality though!

Cheers, M

For a Dread the Gotoh open back tuners work real well and give a look that suits the dreadnought. If you want cheaper the Wilkinson or Grover open backs are ok but nowhere as smooth as the Gotoh.
