I am an aficionado and a big fan of Kluson and vintage style tuners. I put nothing else on my guitar. All the high end professional and expensive closed tuners i care little about. Kluson, Gibson and Fender got it all right on 1st try. The split shaft invention is simple ans genius..
Enough talk. I been cataloging and writing about all the models and makers out there. and when i came across the HB, i decided to give them a try.
I was surprised by them. The quality is very high on these. The split shaft post had LESS wiggle than Kluson and SD91 Gotoh.
The only issue was maybe the gear, all 6 had a slight indentation when you turned the tuner. But barely noticeable when its strung up under tension.
I swear by Gotoh, but Harley Benton really did a good job of these.
And the price is laughable for this kind of quality.
