tuners for a vintage yamaha Fg Guitar

What's Hot


Can anyone recommend a set t of tuners  suitable for a 70s yamaha fg guitar without breaking the bank and in fitting with the age of the guitar. 

The guitar came tor as is and been hanging on the wall for a while after a neck reset, trying to complete a few projects before spring. 

Thanks

    Looks as if Grover Rotomatics or Gotoh equivalents would directly retrofit without needing to drill any new holes.

    I’m pretty sure Gotoh SD90-06M are the correct original type.

    Or very close - they’re the right key style, and should fit the existing screw holes.

    What is the model number of the guitar and approximate year?
    Yamaha used open gear tuners on some 70s models and others with kind of chunky looking rear covers.

    It is a late 70s made in Taiwan model ,which I originally had the enclosed Yamaha branded tuners.. Have ordered a set of gotohs which hopefully do the job ( thanks funkfingers and ICBM) .
