My friend from work Luis gave me this guitar with 2 broken tuners this summer. It was aweful to try to tune it with plyers. When I looked it up online I noticed it didn't seem to be pretty standard tuners. They were cheap ones and cost 25 bucks just for one. Fortunately, my guitar guy had a bunch of old japanese steel string tuners that I could take parts from. This guitar is a classical so I just needed to attatch the classical posts and wheels to the steel string vintage tuners. These were nice! They are way more nostalgic looking and only needed a lil 3 in 1 oil and some tuning experience. They look much better and I noticed the cheap Ibanez were converted into all these little pieces that were unnecessary crap! Now I love Classical guitars too. My friend didn't have the dough for the repair yet so I have been playing it in my apartment and in bed watching tv too. The thin belly of these type of acoustic make it really cozy! I even wrote a cool song that I performed one late night at a jam!
