When I acquired this guitar, many years ago, someone had replaced the original tuners with some ugly metal aftermarket tuners.

Where can I purchase some new tuners that would be more appropriate and closer in appearance to the originals?

This is a round neck guitar with a slotted headstock.

Thanks for your help.

The tuners sold by National Resophonic aren't exact copies of the originals, but they're quite nice, don't look particularly out of place, and were a perfect drop-in fit for my '34 Style O.

+1 for the Nationals. I put a set on my 27 tricone, (kept the originals, but they were really worn out), and they look like they belong there. Plus they work...

Yay! I'll contact National Resophonic.

Thanks for the quick replies and thanks for the link, Noah.

I see they come in both black and white.

Which is appropriate for 1938?

My '36 National has white button strip tuners. I think those stew mac golden age ones would work well and folks seem to like them.
