That's some awful pretty wood you have there too, that side and back grain is sweet and overall a very nice look with the new tuners - I did Gotoh 360's on my F-IV and happy with the result. Now may have to look at doing something w/ my L-03 - TAS starting up again, at least that's cheaper than GAS. 

:cheers

My 1988 D-10 came with black Shaller tuners and I have always loved the look of the black keys.  Your Gotohs look great, too.

I put those on three different Larrivees.  :thumb
I think they should be the stock tuner.
(Just my lowly, no account opinion.)

I agree.  I just put them on my L.

That is just plain beautiful! Already you are inciting upgrade fever for my new baby that isn't even here yet!  :+1:

I was a little more traditional and put the 381s on my L-03 (black, too). I agree with Queequeg: they SHOULD be standard.

Yea, i just took it out of the case and played it again. I just  put DR Rares on it Saturday and it is still in perfect tune with the first chord! Man that Snark dials it in pretty tight. This could be a match made in heaven! And to think it's going to sound better over time amazes me.

:cheers :thumbsup

But then what would we have to upgrade  :laughin:   I have never had a problem with the Pings but there are certainly many very good options for replacement tuners.

:+1: Plus I wouldn't be surprised if making the 510 Deltas stock would add $100-200 to the bottom line. I have Gotoh's. Schallers and Pings, and they all work just fine. In fact I might be persuaded that my Pings are a bit more stable than the Schallers, and near equal to my Gotoh Deltas. :wink:
