Economy tuners

They break down and reverse just fine, so long as you do half the set. #2 Phillips driver, about three minutes' work per machine.

These tuners are great for use on three string guitars and help to keep the cost down. Have never had a prblem with them.

Cheaper than Pings, which cannot be reversed if you plan on using them covered.
