I have a set of black Gotoh SG38 tuners on my Strat, I think I ordered them from Warmoth 10-12 years ago when I switched to a Warmoth body and went to all black hardware.
Two of the tuners have developed an abnormal amount of "slack" in the gears. Especially the A string; there is about an eighth to a quarter turn of slack in the gears either way before it engages fully and starts rotating the peg head. Very annoying.
I was thinking about replacing the entire set but wanted to check and see if there is a way to tighten up the gear slack in these tuners.
FYI -- I have tried tightening the screw that holds the tuner knobs on; that has the effect of increasing the effort required to turn the tuner knob but does not remove any of the slack in the adjustment.
THX.
