| Greetings everyone,
I'm a newbie. Love the site. It was recommended by some guys at Guitar Center. I'm trying to replace the gold tuning buttons on my Celebrity Doubleneck. I'm looking for the pearloid ones. I replaced them on my 1868 Elite a few years ago. As you know, the 12 string buttons are smaller than the 6 string ones. Nobody can seem to find them. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I believe the tuners are mini Schaller M6
The pearliod buttons can be found at Stewart Macdonald |

Location: John's Island, Florida | if it's a Celebrity 6/12 then 18 of Temp's buttons would be about half of the value of the guitar or more.
Now if it's a USA real-deal 6/12 that's a horse of a different color, but I think Chris Choate and Tim in Tidewater, and Mr. Sambora are the only ones that have any of those behemoths.

Location: Warren,Pa. | I'll bet the tuners on that guitar are NOT Schallers. I'll bet they're Pings...and not the better quality Pings that come with US-made Ovations. The imports get lower-end Pings.
The Schaller buttons work on the better Pings, though they are not exactly the same; the shaft on the Schaller tuners is a different length than on the better Pings. I have no idea how compatible or incompatible the Schaller buttons are with the lesser Pings on the imports. If someone could send you a spare mini M6 button for you to try, then you'll know for sure. |

| Wow, you guys are great! Thanks for all the info!! I'll let you know how I make out. BTW, I wish it was the USA made 6/12. The 12 string on the bottom has got to be much easier to play when strumming. |
