possum1284 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 does the tunner post hieght effect wether the guitar will stay in tune or how it sounds? for example if i replaced the tuners on a prs ce 24 with a set of tunners with shorteter post (string holes completeley accessible) would that make a difference? essentially the strings would be closer to the headstock with the shorter post tunners. thanks, Adam Quote
Fluke Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 All that would do is increase the sting angle over the nut, possibly eliminating the need for a string tree. But shouldn't harm the sound. Quote
mikhailgtrski Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 +1 There shouldn't be a problem with shorter posts. Quote
thegarehanman Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 There would only be a problem if you didn't have enough room to wind the string around the post. Obviously, if you're using locking tuners and can access the string hole, you shouldn't have any problems. You're using locking tuners, right? Quote

Mickguard Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 I use the grovers, I like them a lot. but I thought you said the guitar already has locking tuners? So why are you changing them? (just curious) Quote

Taller posts would only be a problem if they were so tall that you no longer had a downward angle from the nut to the post. I've got the grovers on a 13 degree angled headstock, tuners arranged similar to a PRS, and they work just fine. Quote
