Joined: March 2016 Posts: 1	Hello everyone. I'm new to the Ovation world but an old hand when it comes to guitars. I always discounted Ovations due to the fact that they aren't made out of wood. I was mistaken and I have seen the error of my ways. I found the site trying to figure out what brand of tuner machines comes on the Ovation CE44P-8TQ. I want to replace them mainly for appearance purposes but locking tuners would be a nice upgrade. I wasn't able to find anything using the usual search keywords. Love the site and would like to be a full member when ever and admin can get to it. Thanks for such an informative forum!

Yeah, the say "Ovation" on them, but they are probably just off-the-rack Asian tuners. Since those are newer I ain't sure, older Celebrity's had 14-1 ratio tuners. The older CC44 had the screw at "6 o'clock" and you could direct replace them with Grovers. Since the screws on your tuners are at 7:30 and 5:30 it looks like you could replace them with Gotohs 3+3 from Stew-mac Also there are other tuners, but I don't think that the screw-holes match. You can use other tuners... You can drill new holes and fill the old ones (or not). Look around the Stew-mac page, there are many choices... Self-trimming, Locking, etc. USA Ovations don't have locking tuners, after all Ovation acoustics don't have whammy-bars. If you really want to change out... Go with the Open-Gear tuners! They are Lighter and the Look Cool!
