I want to upgrade tuners, The pings on my larrivee go out of tune easily. What gear ratio are they? I don't like the kidney bean 510.  Are the regular gotoh 16:1 any better than the pings. Is it worth $40 to upgrade?

Do a search  and you  will find a lot of  info.   Gotoh has another  style  1951's, I think, that are half the price of of the 510's at stew mac.

Some of the previous postings on these say  they are also a direct replacement.

phill     :mellow:

I put the 1951's on both my Larrivee's and really like them.  Drop in replacement and no problems in two years.

you can change the knobs on the 510.s. the 510's are some of the best tuners i have ever used, worth every penny, i mean dollar :rolleyes:

In a word. . . "YES"  they are light years better.

smooth as silk. best I've ever used (510's that is)

pings are crap. it still amazes me that larrivee uses them. this issue is the only fault i can find with larrivee.

i bought some $40 gotohs and have had no problem with them. ever. the pings went in the trash where they belong. absolute junk.

do the ebonite Larrivee buttons fit on the 510s?
