Replacement Tuning Pegs

TongueNGroove · #1 08-18-2007, 03:42 PM

Hey guys, I tried posting this in the "Other Ibanez" section and didn't get any responses so hopefuly someone here can help me out.

I have an RG 4ex1, which I think has the Wizard II neck. I am wanting to replace the chrome tuning machines with black ones. I have looked all over and found some like these http://www.axcessories.com/proddetai...=axtnrsch6rtbs , but I am not sure if they will fit right.

Is there a place I can get a replacement set that will fit perfectly? I don't mind if I have to drill holes for the set screws, but I dont want to get some that have the posts too small or too big etc..

I checked ibanezrules but he is sold out.....

Thanks!

No one here has ever bought replacement machine heads for an Ibanez? No one here has any input at all?

Hrmm...strange.

go see your local Ibanez dealer.
sometimes they might have some in stock.
the one near me has a few sets.

if all you're wanting to do is change it because of color, it's not worth it.

mindswell use that money on something else.

There are no local "Ibanez" dealers around here..there are a few places that sell some Ibanez guitars, but none of them cary the parts I need.

The color is the main thing, and yes it is worth it, but I wouldn't mind upgrading to some better tuners like Gotoh's that are on the JEM's.

I just need to find a place that sells them and to make sure that they will fit my guitar...

that link should give you all the parts and accessories to fit almost any Ibanez guitar.

You can buy Gotoh tuners from a number of places. If you actually update your location, we might be able to help more.

Alright, thanks for the input.

I am looking at these "TK_0760-003
Gotoh Mini Tuning Keys, Black, 6-in-line,
With Screws, 16:1"

Now, the word "Mini" is throwing me off. Do those fit a regular sized guitar or are they for little kiddy guitars? They are only $39 so if those will work I will get those.

Thanks!

those will fit just fine

Wanna switch? I've got seven black ones I wanna get switched out for chromes instead.

Sorry Roland, I already ordered the Gotoh's.

Thanks for the input guys.

mini's are usually just the size of the tuning key, the bit you physically turn...

i bought a set of schaller locking tuners that retrofitted with the ibanez gotoh's perfectly

I put planet waves auto-trim locking tuners on my RGA. They fit without any fuss, and changing strings is a breeze. I recommend them. That and a set of seymour duncan phat cats was all she needed.
