Unusual Tuner Keys/buttons

[Electric Mulch]

I have a project build I'm sketching out in my head but part of the equation is to use the tuners as part of the visual design.

Can anyone point me at an companies that stock tuners beyond the basic three or four button designs everyone seems to have?

Thanks.

they seem to be mostly the same shape because thats what works

i like the new hipshot ones, and the sperzel shape (they do offer 3 more standard shapes too):

then its really just standard stuff like keystone, gotoh/schaller,grover kidney beans and the round buttons:

imperials are far too fancy for most things but the most deco of guitars

for a truly different look that suits moden designs i would be looking at some steinbergers or seeing if i could track down some LSR's

Neat stuff there. I was hoping, actually to find some longer stems on the tuners. Maybe I could fake that by using a set with replaceable buttons and putting them on a really long screw with some kind of spacer. The idea is for the tuners to look kinda like the teeth on a skeleton key.

you could always try making some. as long as you have a way to mount them on a post and they are relatively flat so you can turn them you dont need to be limited to the shapes above

Maybe just get some skeleton keys or maybe a handcuff key with the hollow center and figure out a way to mount them to a shaft like on these style tuners.

I remember several years ago, a bass guitarist I knew changed the tops on his bass guitar tuners to some key tops similar to this

I love the Sperzel shape too, it reminds me of the tuners on my Supro:
