Receaved my neck for my Gibson RB250 from Frank Neat what an awesome job they done well worth it for sure…. Almost hate to put my cheat a tuners on it it’s so nice
Cheat a Keys D tuners will mar the finish. Spend the money and get Keith tuners.
I do really like the cheat a tuners thou .. but yes I have a cpl sets on my banjo’s an everyone has marks from them …. I did but a set of mighty D tuners and that’s another story….
Cut a couple of small pieces of felt and glue them to the inside surfaces of the Cheat-a-Keys. Just make sure you don't get glue into the mechanism. That will keep from marring the finish on your peghead. I have done that several times.
I was thinking trying that …. Good to here you do that an it works… I had Keith’s , schellers,mightyD,s and I still like the cheat.a tuners the best
I can use Keith or Schaller D tuners okay, but I still like the tuners that bend the strings. I have used several sets of Cheat-a-Keys and I like them. I have never used Mighty D Tuners, but I've heard mixed reviews about them. I see from another post of yours that you were not very impressed with them.
Right now, I have Cheat-a-Keys on one of my banjos and old-style cam tuners on the others. I have several projects in the pipeline that I may have to use locking D tuners on, but in the future, I will be going back to cam-style tuners of one variety or the other. Likely, I will be using Cheat-a-Keys.
Thank you for your input I appreciate it I’m gonna be putting felt on the cheat a tuner like you mentioned, I’m really not that good of a banjo player but when I retired I bought a banjo and been pulling my hair out since lol but at the same time enjoy it I have 6 banjo’s and have like the cheat a tuners the best just didn’t like the marks it made
