Anyone know what make of tuners were put on these guitars? They certainly are not like the originals. I would like to buy some wood buttons for them...but I have no idea which ones will fit. Thanks and...Merry Christmas to everyone

Location: NJ		nope you cannot swap those buttons.

I do have sets of the old schaller gears that should work but you may have to alter the hole for them....
those you can put any buttons you want and I have 4 types ebony rosewood bone and horn
they may be slightly heavier

Location: Munich, Germany		<p>The tuners on the JW Reissue are Schaller Hauser tuners. You can't change the buttons too easily, since you would have to glue new buttons onto them.</p><p>If you want other buttons and an easy swap, get yourself the new Schaller GrandTune classical Hauser tuners, they are available with a lot of different buttons.</p><p>Or do as Al said and switch to Schaller M6 tuners, which needs a bit of adjusting the holes. So did I - and I used the good Templeman buttons.</p><p>Best regards, Kurt</p>
