    As long as any kit set you have are smooth in operation, they are pretty decent 15:1 tuners. Probably the best part of the kit hardware.
    Agreed. The ones I got with my TLA-1 (2018 I think) were actually 18:1.

    I don't know why but it seems people have been influenced into thinking higher ratio (or is it technically lower???) tuners are bad.
    Yes, you have to turn the key more times when replacing a string, but you get a much finer tuning in the end. And if you use a winder, you don't even notice the extra turns.

    Yeah that's another issue I forgot to mention. The ratio is 1:16 and a bit too fast for my taste. A small bump and you shoot over into sharp, then you need to wind like shit before it grabs to back it out.

    These are the tuners for the record. You really do get what you pay for:
