    Hey Colin, do you know if the new tuners will be an option or just a standard feature from here on out? Also, if either is the case, will it only be on certain models? I have heard conflicting info on all accounts.

    I recently tried an 80's Fender Precision that had similarly shaped heads and they felt nice. These look like they're even better and more contoured for comfort. It will take a little bit of getting used to as the previous tuners were so much bigger looking on the back of the headstock. I like 'em!

    These are cool!

    Kinda glad Stingray/Sterling is staying traditional...but they new models will look pretty damn nice with these. More so the Reflex....but then again, they all look good no matter which tuners are on. I like the Bongo with the old AND the new tuners.

    I don't know if it's just because I am not used to the look of them, but I am not a big fan of these new tuners. Maybe they just have to grow on me.
