Tuners for Casino

[jsa11]

Hi all,

 

I'm getting this awkward buzzing coming from the tuning machine on the low E on my Korean Casino. Just wondering if anyone had experienced this before, or if anyone had replaced the machines on their Casino and could give a good recommendation for a replacement.

I highly recommend replacing them. When you compare the stock tuners to a Kluson replacement, you can see just how cheap and rubbishy the stock ones are. These Kluson oval button ones are a direct replacement for the stock oval button tuners on a Casino.

You can probably find them cheaper somewhere else, this is just an example.

 

You will however need to remove the stock bushings as the Kluson tuners have a slightly larger diameter shaft. You don't need to enlarge the holes in the headstock, just fit the bushings that come with the Klusons. Removing the old bushings can be a bit tricky, and may be best left to someone with the proper tools.

Thanks! I was planning on doing an overhaul of a good portion of the guitar anyway( nut, bigsby, pickups etc) so I'll just add that to the list. Any way to potentially stop the buzz until I can put some new ones on there?
