<p>Ron Sperzel and his team are smart peeps, we use a ton of Sperzels and the consistent design and engineering specs means we can mix and match most components and housings/ spacers/ knobs. They also do hybrid tuners and sets for us at minimal or no up charge. The benefit of being able to convert any tuner from left to right, including massively reduced inventory costs is obvious. I wish the industry overall was as good as Sperzel. <br/>regards Rusty</p>

<p>I guess it makes sense for them to manufacture a unit that can be assembled as either right handed or left - rather than manufacture two different versions. I recently tried to do the same thing with some Schertler open gear tuners but after I pulled it apart I found they cannot be reversed. But I could swap out the shorter post of a peghead-style tuner for the longer post of a slot-head one, and solved my problem that way. </p>
