YetzerHarah Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Has anyone tried them? http://www.g-gotoh.com/international/?page_id=2232 They look interesting, & according the spin doctors at Gotoh, they're both comparatively light weight & ecological.

I just thought they might be perfect for an odd project that I'm brainstorming. Sadly, I guess no one's had a chance to try them yet.

westhemann Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 String tension must be less than 44 pounds...I assume that is per string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdshirtman Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 String tension must be less than 44 pounds...I assume that is per string? I saw that too. If not they're going to be pretty worthless unless you're building a nylon string acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YetzerHarah Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure that they mean 44lbs per tuner, given that the tuners aren't connected so they can't feel the load on any other tuner. 44lbs should cover 6 strings, most 7 strings, & maybe even some very light 8 strings (@ standard scales & gauges), baritone depends on scale/tuning/gauge, & basses are pretty much out of the question. I don't know that they're inherently ugly Allan, although I agree that the examples they put on their site are less than flattering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
