I'm going to have to learn to use the wing tuners...incoming

[Aahzz]

I have a real gem of a guitar from 1997 heading my way, so I finally need to learn to use the old style tuners. We'll see if I keep the 5-way rotary...

More details when the guitar arrives, probably Monday, Watch for the NGD...

I'm a fan of both!

Take your time, get the cams set(It will probably take a few tries - be patient) and you’ll be good to go.

I still have an old skool timing light hanging up in the garage.
Kids today likely have no clue at all to it's function

I will be keeping a weather eye out for it!

That is a great prospect!

Imagine if you had to look at both out-of-alignment cams and the new dumbo-ears tuner pegs on the same guitar - I doubt you could make it through one song without throwing up!

Enjoy the NGD - we look forward to seeing it. (at least we know it won't be a "dang" Vela)

For me there was definitely a learning curve. This video helped me out the most.

On my '97 CE-24, I really like the 5-way rotary switch, but the knob is pretty slippery when playing live. So I use this on that one knob. Congrats on your new guitar!! - Bodie

Really! Everyone knows you plug it in, point it at a wall and it tells you the time.

Honestly, I find the winged tuners the easiest to change string on.

I should let y'all know, in the first sentence of my post there's a hint to the color .

Well, gems come in several colors. My money's on blue.

Love it! Can't wait to see your NGD thread.

Emerald Green?
Ruby Red?

I’m going with an Aahzz goatee match. Something topaz-like. Matteo blue?

Was that color available in 97?
Never seen any gems called Matteo, either.
