I have read mixed reports from the StewMac site but I would seriously give them a go. I guess it is important to learn how they work first, before committing to them. But the concept is sound, and Steinberger has rarely made dodgy equipment. I think they would be perfect on a Firebird... Wish they made them for bass...
I have a set of these in my sweaty hands.... And yes, they are good, just as you would expect from Ned Steinberger!Quote:

Can't wait to start my next scratch build to put them on.
The people that have had dramas with these excellent tuners have not read the instructions properly.
Hmmm. For Bass...... That would be nice.... Time to write to Mr Steinberger and ask if there are any plans to do so.....
Okay, I don't get it. How do these things work? Are they 1:1? Surely that would make tuning a nightmare.
They are something like 40:1.......Quote:

You wind the top thumb screw out until you can see the hole through the shaft, slip the string through then tighten the thumb screw down.
Then you tune by turning the knurled knobby bit on the underside.

So completely backwards to how I thought. Thanks!Quote:

Nice of my i-thing to post the photo upside down.....

Toyed with the idea of these for another special project.
Then I saw the price - are they REALLY $89.00 each 8O
Bugger me, for the price of six of these I'd rather buy FIVE ST-1 kits!
$107 for the set, Maxie!

Aha! that's more reasonable. The way Stewmac set out the pricing was not very clear to me.
I take it that includes postage? Are Stewmac the way to go in your opinion?
Unfortunately postage is not included.... apart from that, Stewmac are really good to do business with.
I will do some searching to see if these are available elsewhere.
But will probably only be about $20 postage....
I bought a set of 6 of these Steinberger Gearless Tuners, tried them on 3 of my guitars but they didn't really make tuning the guitars much easier, there was no real difference in tuning stability after I had installed the tuners, I found that there was one that had a knob that was a bit stiff to turn even though the string wasn't up to pitch, and yes, I made sure I did read the instructions properly, I even tried lubricating the stiff tuner with graphite, made no difference, even with a spray with some WD40, plus one tuner was missing it's anchoring pin.
Retraction:
I just tried my set of 6 Steinberger Gearless Tuners on an 80's Cimar Superstrat guitar just for fun and because it's original tuners had lots of backlash, well I have to say that I stand corrected, they do seem to be keeping the guitar in tune better, what you need to do is put some lubricant in the nut slots I used some Big Bends Nut Sauce), then once you get the strings all tuned up to pitch, play the guitar a bit, then de-tune the guitar so the strings are a bit slack, then loosen the locks on each tuner and pull the string tight again, then lock it off and re-tune back up to pitch.

Saw these on a guitar the other day looked stunning ,next up and coming project
beautiful!
the Da Vincis are very nice, have my eye on them as well
They look like they belong a steampunk guitar.
Is Schaller, is good.
so DB there's actually a product ie Schaller, that won't get us in the naughty room ?
It would be much easier DB if you give us a list of unbanned products because the banned list would be about a 5 terabyte document !
No Woks, 6TB
I'm going to use these Schaller Grandtune on next project
