Anyone know where I can get a single gold tuner (d string ) for my ovation celebrity. My local dealer is of no help and the only sets that I can find that have the screw hole in the right place are Pings...Grovers might fit but I really just want to keep it stock and there is nothing wrong with the other five tuners!

Thanks
John

I would just put on a whole new set of Pings.

What kind are on it now? I thought the celebs used Pings already.

I think they are some Korean brand called Jin Ho. Thay look very close if not identical to the Ping tuners; Mitchx thanks for the heads up on the ebay auction I'm going to bid on them.

Jin Ho. You may be right. I know a lot of the mid range US models use Pings and I thought they extended down into the celeb line as well. Maybe not. Pings are good, so I wouls still recommend that you go ahead and put on a whole new set. Dave

I agree.

If ONE "went", . . the others might not be too far behind . . .
