Thanks to Reverb, Japan, and the crappy finish on the previously installed Wilkinson tuners on my Yamaha LLX6A, it now proudly adorns Gotoh SGV510 gold with L5 buttons. These are the tuning machines that should come on virtually every guitar in the intermediate to pro-level categories. So comfortable to turn. 21:1 ratio. Flawless finish. Cry once, buy once.
As my username suggests, huge fan of Yamaha products. Own many acoustic-electric models from 2009-present and a couple electric. Lots of PA too.
I know those are fabulous tuners but I'm just not a fan of that button shape - it's just a visual thing to me - they remind me too much of Fender bass guitar tuners for some reason when I look at them.

Nice tuners, YamahaGuy. Bear in mind that over time the string vibrations will cause the tuners to loosen a little bit, but their firmness can easily be restored by taking the right size Phillipshead screwdriver and going around and firming up their clutch screws, which are the same screws that hold the buttons onto the tuners.
Bruce, I have Schaller-style aftermarket buttons on most of my Gotoh tuners; they’re widely available. In addition to changing the look they also have the advantage of cutting the weight on the headstock.
All anyone has to do is make certain is that the aftermarket buttons are intended for Gotohs and then swap them out.
Suggestions For Tuners Or Tuner Buttons?
It's purely a visual thing for me - I have Gotoh tuners on 2 guitars and they are superb ... and the OP's 21:1 ratio 510's are regarded as their very best!
Thanks. Yeah, the looks of the button does remind me of a bass too, but to me they are easy to spin on the treble side when restringing.
I've thought about changing the machine heads on my LL16 to an open back style because I've always loved that style, but the stock tuners have actually been really good, it stays in tune so well, they turn easy etc. For now I'll leave it, looks good though!
Yamaha Fs800sdb Acoustic Guitar Sand Burst
I've had many Yamaha guitars over the past 11 years. The only reason I changed them the first time was that the finish wore off. So I got some [relatively] cheap Wilkinson tuners from Guitar Fetish which weren't bad, but the finish on them starting go away after a year or two, so I decided to do it right once and for all.
This particular guitar and I have been through so much, it's my go-to stage guitar. I'll pick it 3 to 1 over most others in my collection. It's a (originally) $649 guitar that has over $500 extra invested in it between Tusq nut, Tusq saddle, bone nut, bone nut no. 2, repairs after it was dropped [not by me], strap lock set 1, strap locks set 2, case number 2, tuners x2. It's one of my keepers.
YamahaGuy - congrats on the new Tuners. I know you were looking for some and it worked out great. They look fantastic.The body works like the speaker of an acoustic guitar – it’s the biggest thing that dictates how a guitar will sound.

Vibration of the guitar’s strings is transmitted to the top of the body via the bridge which in turn transmits vibrations to the back and sis. The sound of the guitar is the result of these 3 sis and the air insi the body moving together. A small change in any element of the body – shape, size or material – will change the sound of the guitar.
The human hand is incredibly sensitive, so the exact shape and size of a guitar’s neck makes a huge difference to how the guitar feels, but the neck also has a substantial influence on the instrument’s tone and sustain.
So it doesn’t twist or warp, the harst, nsest woods are used to make necks: mahogany, rosewood, nato, padauk, and sometimes maple. Necks can be carved from a single piece of wood, or from several pieces joined together for add strength and rigidity. Yamaha combines mahogany with rosewood, padauk, or ebony in three piece and five piece necks, blending the strength and sound profiles of the different woods for the sired result.

Although primarily a playability issue, the shape of a neck also affects its overall mass, which has an effect on tone – more mass means a fatter, thicker tone. The profile of the neck can range from a somewhat flattened “D” through a round “D” to a distinct “V” shape. The choice is eply personal, and Yamaha has spent many years researching and refining neck shapes to build neck shapes which suit the different characters of each guitar mol while balancing comfort and playability with strength, stability and great tone.
The length of a guitar’s neck, also called the scale length, changes the feel and sound of a guitar. A shorter neck, like the neck of an FS which is just a few millimetres shorter than standard, will feel more comfortable and will give a guitar a brighter, clearer tone.
The bridge is where the strings anchor to the top of the guitar and on an acoustic guitar usually consists of two main components: the bridge base and the saddle. The saddle rests in a groove in the bridge base, which is glued directly to the top of the guitar. Holes are drilled through the bridge and top of the guitar for the strings to pass through. Wedge shaped bridge pins hold the strings in place.
Why Your Acoustic Guitar Won't Stay In Tune
The bridge has two core functions – transmission of string vibrations to the guitar’s body, and control of the string length, which termines tuning accuracy along the fretboard (referred to as the guitar’s intonation).
To help string vibrations be transmitted efficiently to the body with minimum damping, relatively hard materials are used for both the bridge base and saddle. The bridge base is generally ma of a nse hardwood such as ebony or rosewood, while the saddle will be ma of hard resin or bone. Ivory was consired the best material in the past, but has been illegal for many years. New synthetic materials are becoming popular due to a good balance of tone, durability and sustainable production.
The materials used for the bridge have a consirable effect on the guitar’s tone – harr materials like bone give a clearer, brighter tone but are more expensive, more difficult to work with and more fragile.

To maintain proper intonation for all six strings, so a string played at the 12th fret is exactly on octave above the open pitch, the saddle is installed at a precisely calculated angle, with the high E string end a little closer to the neck than the low E string end. The third (G) string sometimes requires a slight offset in the saddle to achieve proper intonation. On an acoustic guitar, this can’t be adjusted easily, so it’s vital that the guitar is signed and ma well so the bridge is in the perfect place when it’s new, and it doesn’t move even after years of being played.
When you play a guitar, you feel the woon fingerboard and the metal frets inlaid into it more than any other part of the instrument. They affect the sound, the feel and the tuning of the guitar, so picking the right materials and making sure they’re put together correctly is essential.
Hard, dark woods like ebony and rosewood are the most commonly used fingerboard woods as they provi an ial blend of durability and resilience along with a good tone.

The exact position of a fret between the nut a bridge of a guitar termines the pitch of a note, so the fret grooves are cut into the fingerboard using precision computer controlled cutters to make sure they’re in exactly the right place. The material, height, width, and overall shape of the frets themselves also affect playability, tone, and intonation, so frets are manufactured and installed with the utmost care. Yamaha’s combination of computer-controlled processes for accuracy and the sensitive touch of a craftsperson is the best way to do this.
The guitar’s strings are suspend between the bridge on the body and the nut at the headstock, and it is the distance between the bridge and nut that termines the pitch of the open string. A tiny change in string length can make accurate tuning impossible, so precision is extremely important.
The nut has grooves in which the strings rest that are carefully cut to the perfect size and shape of each string. The pth of each groove is precisely set by a craftsperson for each string to make sure it’s the perfect height from the frets so it’s easy to fret without causing any buzzing.

A guitar’s nut is usually ma of the same material as the saddle – hard resin, bone or advanced synthetic materials; harr materials are generally better.
Tuning machines are sometimes called machine heads, tuning keys, tuning pegs or tuners. Each string passes through the nut and is attached to a tuning machine on the headstock. The tuning machines can be arranged along one si (six in a row)
