It seems I may soon be regaining my Custom Balladeer 1112 in a swap of Family treasures!

What is the brand/style of tuner on those? I was looking through the Stew Mac site and I remember the originals as aging less than gracefully. Looking forward to a little TLC and quality time.

And of course, pictures to follow, within the sizing limit. :D

Did I mention that I missed this place?

I'll guess Kluson, but I'm no W-2. :) I wonder if year of manufacture makes a difference.

It's cool that you'll be getting it back. What's the history on it? I find guitar stories fascinating.

This is the full rosette unit and not the "Ribbon" of the early Balladeers (which is on my top 5 to aquire list).

I remember hearing Klusons as the first run. I will have have it in hand before ordering any parts.

Just excited!
