Tuner recommendations?

[Orange Tortex]

I’m pretty much decided on everything but the tuner hole size because I don’t know what tuners to get. I’m getting a hockey stick headstock which I think would look better with square shaped tuner heads than oval shaped, but I can’t find any that are non-locking, or even have size specs listed. I need left side, 6-in-line, non-locking, square shaped tuners.

Search hipshot.  They have an assortment of tuners and replacement buttons.  Also tone ninja makes replacement buttons.

When you say square, what portion of the tuner are you referring to?

 

[Rick]

Yeah, if you could post a pic of what you're looking for it would help.

The head. And by square shaped I mean like what you’d see on a modern standard Strat.

I know they're cheap, but I'm a big fan of the Wilkinson EZlok tuners. Locking with no moving parts. Simplicity itself.

Like these on my Strat

Those look like schaller.  They have non-locking versions, for example:

Gotoh also makes a nice set:

Hipshot makes something that will make you happy.  After you look at the websites mentioned above, I'm curious to know what you've picked.

You will for the options mentioned such as Schaller or Hipshot etc or most modern tuners need a 10mm or 25/64" holes. Warmoth option Schaller bore.

I noticed you have posted a few questions. The below links will help you with a lot of information - menus on the left hand side.

I heard Hipshot makes replaceable heads, where you can change from Schaller-like shape to Grover-like shape, which is pretty cool.
I’ll most likely go with the Gotohs that Mayfly posted because they’re cheaper than Schaller, but before I get hardware I have to figure out the color of the guitar of course.
