What kind of tuners???

Sweetchuck

Hi, Can someone who had a MIJ Jaguar Special tell me what kind of tuners those are? And will they fit in say a strat or tele?

nirvana23freak

wrong section, but im guessing that there kluson's, so if you drill holes or they have the same tuners, yes theyll fit

Sweetchuck

So they are just considered Kluson style tuners? Does that refer to the part where you put the strings in to that hole from the top down to the inside of the tuner rather than putting it in the holes that most tuners have in the side of the peg. Mine are "hole from top" in not the side hole kind.

I realize thats probably confusing. But I want to sell them on ebay so I need to know exactly what they are called and what other models they might fit.

Those look like them from the back. But Im talking about the peg part. On mine you wrap them 2-3 times and stick the end strait down into the peg from the top rather than from the side like most tuners. I just want to know if there is any special name to call them.

there kluson copies. standard on all jap fenders

Sweetchuck

So would it be cool to call them Kluson Style tuners? And will they fit on a standard Strat or Tele?

Thanks

nirvana23freak

yes, call them genuine fender kluson style tuners.

you probably wont get to much for them, maybe like 20-35 $

Sweetchuck

Thats fine. Thats all I want. Id even sell them on here. But on Ebay Im Capintrip.

I have them up and I put what you said but I didnt add too much else cause I wasnt sure. I'd take 25-35 bucks for them plus a few bucks shipping...

nirvana23freak

looks good you might want to "These will fit mostly any fender guitar(Strat, Tele, Mustang, Jaguar, etc...)

Sweetchuck

Got it. Thanks for the advise.

Yeah, Ive got a problem with the person that bought them from me. This is what he wrote me...

genuine fender kluson style tuners,made in japan!

i don't know how old you are but they have not made a jaguar in quite a while. they don't even say kluson. i see a trend happening on ebay right now and i do not like it! false advertising. that's it i've had it. you better get back to me or talk to ebay. this is going to stop!

Ebay item number...130185175945

The person emailed me a few times before and after the auction. In 1 of those emails I told him that they came off a MIJ Jaguar. And he didnt seem to have a problem with it then. Im gonna refer him to this post so he can see that I was being as honest and accurate about the description as I could be.

He says that they dont even say Kluson on them...Well I bought a set of Gotoh locking tuners and they dont say Gotoh or anything on them anywhere. So I dont know why he thinks they should say Kluson on them...

I have emailed him back and told him that I DID NOT misrepresent the tuners. So I will be waiting to hear from him. What do people here think?

nirvana23freak

they aret kluson they are kluson style. thats what you said right? and tell him fender japan is making jaguars today. they are always making them in japan.

Im actually starting to think someone hijacked this persons account. They asked me if I was related to Bill Clinton? I have no idea why they would ask me that. But thats the kind of things they write to me. He told me my entire listing is a lie or deception.

I want the guy to be happy with the tuners. But so far he's just insulted me or threatened that I should be sure to give Ebay enough info...I think hes just messing with me. I dont feel I lied in anyway. They are fine tuners. We both have 100% rankings on Ebay so I doubt he wants to screw that up. I dont. But he has 408 and Ive only got 29. So it would be worse for him than me. Oh well. I dont know what to do...

Contact Ebay, tell them you listed them correctly and tell them what's been said by the buyer and take it from there. As long as you've told us the whole story then there isn't anything to worry about.

Sweetchuck

Naw...Im not gonna report them to Ebay. Im happy to let it drop. If he/she goes thru Ebay I know I dont have anything to worry about. Ill just tell them my side and ofcourse I have ALL the emails. Even the ones from right after the auction ended where in one of our emails I mentioned that I had a MIJ Jaguar that I took them off and he didnt say anything. So I guess Im not worried. Im not on here to Bash this person but just to write about my view and allow him/her to come here and ask other members what they think...

Otherwise Im happy to let it go. We should both just give positive feedback and be happy... 😳
