Identify Guitar Tuners

[George Roberts]

Fifteen years ago I helped  high school senior finish his shop project, which was an acoustic guitar.  The school was closing the shop, and the instructor gave me a box of stuff that had been donated years earlier by the Kalamazoo Gibson factory.  There were three sets of these tuners in the box, and I had always assumed that they were also from Gibson.  When looking online, I am unable to find a Gibson guitar with these tuners.  When looking at tuners in general, I don't see anything that looks similar.  There is no name or number on them.  They appear to be well made, and have a 14:1 ratio.  This may well be common knowledge, but not to me.

Appear to be cheap japanese tuners from the 70's to me.

[Ned Knepp]

I agree with Eric on this. They match the tuners on my first guitar, a 70's Japanese guitar and the Old sigma that I have now has a set just like them.

maybe Ping.....

[Christian Johnson]

Ping.  The shape gives them away. Back is a different shape,though.

Very cheap tuners,at any rate. Nothing special.

Thanks guys,

This isn't the bonanza of rare Gibson tuners I was hoping would augment my retirement portfolio.

I just wish I had had the wisdom to Google "Cheap Japanese Tuners."

Thanks, George
