As always, HB knocks it out of the park in terms of value for your money. 50 euros for staggered locking tuners with 19:1 ratio and (reasonably high quality) good visuals.
I tried these on a Harley Benton ST-20 and they drop right in.
However:
- As of May 2024, I ordered the JN07-BS and the pictures are of a satin black finish. But the tuners I received are actually Satin-Nickel (NS?) although the label on the box is still "JN07-BS". It works for my use case, but unless Thomann correct the product description to match the spec, be careful which finish you are looking for. "SBK" is satin black, "BK" is gloss black, "GD" is gold, "CR" is glossy chrome. I hope that helps you!
- The tuners and locking keys are not coupled to each other in the packaging. The locks are of different length (37mm x2, 38mm x2 and 39mm x2) so be careful which tuner you lock which key into.
- Something much more important that went wrong (in this batch atleast) is that the tuners arrived with absolutely no lubrication whatsoever. I used some chain oil to lubricate and it works decently atleast for now. Let's see how long that will be good. This is where I unfortunately must deduct 1 star.
