Hi everyone, new Artcore fan here,

Aside from the tuners this is a great guitar. Since I got it (3 months ago) I hardly ever pick up my Mexicaster Strat or Tele. This guitar just kicks. I love it.

But the tuners could be better (grindy - seem to need grease - have to fiddle around a lot to get in tune).

Does anyone know of a quality set of direct replacements for the tuners? I don't want to drill holes if I can help it.

-Thanks

The picture is a link. Consider having the nut replaced as well with either bone or TusQ XL.





If you intend to replace the bridge as well, this is the one you would need. The one with studs and bushings, though you would not be using the studs and bushings.

Well I got my Stew Mac Gotoh tuners today and installed them. Man what great set. No mods to my guitar, just dropped them in. Totally smooth. Accurate as hell. Love 'em. Thanks Tracy :)

Your welcome. They are great machines. That's why Ibanez uses them on Prestige models.
