Hello PSGers.
One pet peeve of mine on the older Sho Buds is the fact that the tuners stick up so high and I run in to them when sliding down to the first position. Has anyone ever helped this situation by putting shorter tuners on the guitar ? Or would the purists say "This man must die"? RP

I've never had a problem bumping into the tuner keys on my Sho-Bud. Maybe your hand posture is different than most of us. If you hate the SB keys, you'll really hate some of the Emmons keys.

Would it be the tuners on the rear neck (C6) causing the problem? Smaller replacement buttons may help and are available from parts suppliers, but if your guitar has the original Grovers, these replacements may not fit properly.
