Are there any manufactuers today (other than after market), that are installing the roller changers in their production model guitars?
If so, are they an upgrade or standard feature?

I don’t think a couple of bb’s here and there is going to help much.
Roller bearings would make a noticeable improvement.

You see I have been sold on J. Coop's upgrade for Sho~Buds where he uses a tiny bearing like a roller blade wheel bearing in place of the friction ear. This greatly improves everything from smooth motion to longevity and host of others.
Just wondering if any major mfg will get their s**t togerther to include this idea. It will of course add to mfg cost, but when you are paying 3500 + for a new guitar these days so whats another buck or two (x100).
