Looking for brass tuners for my selmer style guitar

TenorClef

Hi all, i'be been tinkering with my guitar for some time as some of my previous threads show. Its a Gitane Saga DG250M which i stripped and coated in a French polish finish and then added some wear areas to make it look a little older than it actually is. Its a great sounding guitar IMHO and now i want to add some brass tuners if i can locate some? Check my photos out.

I should have added some photos of the headstock which i really like.

The tuners however seem a little less substancial than the rest of the guitar. I know its pretty easy to get hold of slot style tuners but for this particular model i would not know where to begin.

Saga

I think the ones you have look pretty nice, but if you want enclosed three-on-a-plate tuners, these kluson-style Gotohs might look cool:

Michael thanks for the sugestions however are you sure they will work? I have a couple of of the original 3-1 Saga tuners and they don't work on the DG250M model.

Cheers,

Not sure...that's a question for Josh.

The holes on your head stock will need to be plugged and re drilled to fit 3 on a plate. It's not a supper huge modification but does take some care if you want it to look good.
