That'd be Paul Templeman ... or rather Rothesay Music. Rothesay Music eBay Store . I have some walnut and rosewood from them. Othersd here have them and the grained ivoroid are really nice. Paul showed me the tortoise when he was in Moodyville in January. Most excellent. I would've bought them on the spot if I had a guitar for them.

Just so we're all absolutely clear on this. These buttons are manufactured from a SYNTHETIC which mimics the appearence of tortoiseshell, but is absolutely NOT from the carapace of the Hawksbill turtle or any other endangered species. The buttons are a unique plastic derived from a non-endangered and ecologically-friendly source.

Are those the stock tuners, or did you change those out?

No, I had it built that way. The headstock has to be drilled specifically for them.
