Title: Need new tuners for my OMV-03
Post by: pcmancini on July 17, 2011, 09:29:06 PM

Hi all, I know the replacement tuner topic comes up often but I now need a drop in compatible set of tuners for my OMV-03. It currently has the original Ping Tuners (18:1 Ratio) and the D string tuner is beginning to stiffen up. It was built in 2004 if that helps.

Since I have to do this I do want to upgrade as well as replace.

Thanks and links would be appreciated.

Regards,
Paul

I don't know if the tuners off the D and L Larrivees will fit, but I've got a couple of sets sitting around. These are the regular size tuners with the offset/angled screw attachment in back. rwskaggs1@att.net - let me know if this will help. :nana_guitar

I replaced the tuners on my L-03 and I'm relatively certain they are the same as on the OM. The Gotoh 381s drop in quite nicely (I used the all black). The trick is to get the tuner with the 45 deg. offset. The 510 also work as many on this forum will attest.

Good luck and I think you'll really like the Gotohs - very smooth and hold tune quite well.
