* no-drill replacement for SE tuners
* handle .11-.50 well (DR Pure Blues 11s)
* locking
* 18:1 gear ratio
* modern backs, but vintage buttons
* not Hipshot UMP style mounting
It looks like the Grover 406s would fit the bill, since you can put Hipshot vintage looking buttons on them, except that the 406s have that unique locking mechanism and I've read they're a pain with larger strings like .11s...
Does anyone make Vintage looking buttons for the Schalers that are drop-in?
If not, and I forego the 18:1 ratio wish, does anyone make Vintage looking buttons that fit the Mann SE modified tuners?
(When I say vintage looking buttons, I mean the smaller more Trapezoidal ones in the yellowish bone-like color, such as some PRSs ship with, but I'd like those buttons on modern nickel mechanisms rather than the dual-screw 14:1 old style.)
Am I stuck with the Grovers and that locking mechanism if I want this combo, or the Hotshot UMP? Say it isn't so...
Thanks.
