Location: Chehalis, Washington | Anyone use Gotoh tuners, or know of a good supplier for exotic wood replacement buttons for them? I'm really looking at either Koa or Macassar ebony, depending on how they look.
I've checked LMI & ebay, and found some interesting stuff, but just not totally sold yet on anything specific. |

His custom buttons are sized for Schaller/Ping but you can use them on Gotoh. I have them on numerous Takamine guitars with Gotoh's. The Gotoh shaft is slightly smaller than the schaller so you use teflon tape or an octave G string to wedge it tight. |
