Hello All,

Which style -OR- model Schaller tuning machines are currently used on the Silhouette series guitars ?

I have a 97 Silhouette Special with Grover locking tuners & I don't like them...at all ! I prefer the locking thumb screw on the back of the head stock.
So...which ones will I need to purchase ??

Thank you for your help,
George
 
MM uses the Schaller M6 locking tuners. Lotsa vendors carry them, as well as MM who stock them.

I've replaced old Schallers with these and it required drilling a small hole in the headstock for the little pin on the tuner base. No idea what's required to retrofit the older tuners (which I thought were Wilkinson).
