That's not what we, guitar lovers, expect from the stereotypically superb German engineering. Overall, I now consider Schaller products as poor quality and not Gibson-friendly, as the whole situation reminds me of Schaller strap locks whose installation on a Gibson guitar is similarly a big problem, especially with the screw in the lower part of the guitar, let alone other well known issues with these locks. Thus, I'm sending back both sets, which to my regret Thomann will have to handle somehow with Schaller.Īnd, quite obviously, I cannot recommend this product because, in my opinion, it is a total fiasco. One of the tuners was outright defective (too loose). Compared to Fender locking tuners, the difference in the tuning stability is huge.Ĥ. Upon installation, all strings did not stay in tune even after a couple of re-adjustments. The 1st E string could not be clamped in position properly and kept creeping out of the lock (as I was turning the tuner to tune up the string, the tone remained the same or even dropped as the string was slipping out of the lock).ģ. So, if you use thicker strings, for sure the low E string would not come through.Ģ. As a result, I could barely put the bass E string into the hole in the tuner (it was a 0.46 gauge). Set of six locking tuning machines that can be retrofitted to nearly any Fender guitar having vintage-style tuning machines with 15/16 mounting spacing. Yet the sting holes remain too low (which is ridiculous given Gibson headstocks are all angled and do not require directing strings downward as Fenders do). Well, this can be to some extent overcome by using Gibson's stock shims instead of the ones that are supplied with the Schaller tuners. The tuners simply don't fit the headstocks of my Gibson guitars (SG, ES, LP): the supplied shims make the position of the string hole too low to the extent that is it partially blocked by the screw nut that holds the tuner. After getting the Squier Vintage Modified Tele, I formed some fast. They came in packed in very nice boxes, reminding of a new iPhone. both have Gotoh/All Parts chrome locking tuners. Having read mostly positive reviews, I bought two sets at once. These Schallers at first seemed a perfect choice.

Vintage style cloth covered lead wire.I wanted to upgrade stock tuners on some of my Gibson guitars. Output is noticeably higher and will break up most amps a little faster and harder than typical Strat pickups.

The bridge is a Gotoh Vintage Tremolo, and the entire guitar is given a level of wear and tear via an aging process. It features a rosewood fingerboard, an ash or alder body, and Jason Lollar hand-wound pickups. Each Nash S67 is built by hand, so each one is completely unique. The aged control knobs, pickguards, dinged and scratched finish, and aged hardware make the guitar look old, but the modern techniques used to make the guitar ensure that it plays like a brand new instrument. If anyone knows about building vintage guitars, it's Bill Nash! He has worked with a HUGE number of them for many years and has a great deal of knowledge about how a vintage guitar looks and feels. Nah's S67 is available with all the same specs and choices of the S63, but features the larger CBS era headstock. Bill Nash designed the S67 to create a custom shop quality guitar that isn't extremely expensive, yet still captures that great look, feel, and playability of a well played and loved 1967 Fender Stratocaster. Not only does the S67 look and feel like a vintage Stratocaster, it also features a number of popular modern appointments, such as Lollar handwound pickups and Gotoh Vintage tuning keys. The Nash S67 is a vintage strat model from Nash Guitars.
