IbanezIceman Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 For the longest time, I have searched the internet for stores that might sell the knobs/keys pictured below. All I know about them is that they were common on several Ibanez Iceman models. I want them for my own Iceman, as it only has the stock, plain knobs/keys. I found these pictures from eBay auctions a while back: Here they are on an Iceman.... Link to the photo: http://home.tiscali.no/eskilnor/iceman_tuning_keys.jpg ...and here they are on some unknown guitar: Link to the photo: http://home.tiscali.no/eskilnor/iceman_tun...uning_keys2.jpg I guess my questions are: 1) Who manufactured these? 2) What are they called? 3) Most importantly - where can I buy them? Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote

IbanezIceman Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Posted February 15, 2004 Sheeesh....sorry about that, people.. Tried forever to find a good hosting service, and when I thought I had - it gets all f***ed up. Anyway, I edited the old post with new link to the photos. Can you all see them now?? Quote
krazyderek Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 regular tuners, just special heads, or keys on them.. Quote
Scott Rosenberger Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 They're Gotohs with the Mounting screw position at 6 O'Clock and special tuner knobs. If you're looking for a replacement for those that will fit without drilling new mounting screw holes, try Grovers. I know they make a 6 O'clock tuner, I have a set of black ones here that I took from my les paul Quote
IbanezIceman Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Posted February 15, 2004 regular tuners, just special heads, or keys on them.. Sorry - I should have phrased my question better - I meant "what are those knobs or keys?" It's the knobs I am interested in, not the tuners themselves. Quote
IbanezIceman Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Posted February 15, 2004 Hmm, I have tried to edit the original post and the thread *title* to "Hard to find machineheads / tuners" with no luck. .....it's the keys (or knobs) I want. Quote
weezerboy Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 this is the closest i've found, from allparts and i can;t find black one...but i have been awake for 30 hours, so thats all for now dan Quote
weezerboy Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 heh i posted that and then realised that they are nothing like the ones that you are looking for may as well leave it, someone may find some use in it Quote
IbanezIceman Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Posted February 16, 2004 heh i posted that and then realised that they are nothing like the ones that you are looking for may as well leave it, someone may find some use in it But thank you for the respone, weezerboy. It's the thought that counts! Yeah those are kinda different. It's strange - why are these knobs so hard to find?? Makes me wonder if they were especially made only for the Iceman and never mass produced for the custom parts market... I remember seeing a complete set of 3x3 of them on eBay one time that had been taken off an original 1970's Iceman. They sold for $90 but silly me didn't try to buy them at the time. Quote
KILOWAT® Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 arrent those ibanez iceman tuners? maybe u can find them here i dident check but maybe... good luck! -KILOWAT® Quote

I want them SOO bad. Quote
