Lotmusic Guitar Tuners 3x3

First, I am bound to state that I received this product at no cost for review. Having gotten that out of the way …

I have used a lot of cheap tuners in my cheap projects, and these are the best cheap tuners I've ever had my hands on. Most inexpensive guitar tuners tighten-up and feel alright once they are installed and under tension. Good tuners are tight and smooth when they are not installed. Just holding these in my hands and working the knobs, there is no slop in either direction, and almost no play in the shaft, not in any of them. They feel much more expensive than the price they are. In addition, the chrome is thick and smooth and flawless. The back covers are slightly domed rather than flat - a nice touch. These seem more like $50 tuners than $15 - I am really surprised and pleased. Given how sturdy they are and the nice big knobs, I may save these for some sort of bass VI project. That's it - I don't need to write a longer review.


A woodshop is a dangerous place, sometimes your tools turn on you. For a nice clean cut, Crazy Glue is perfect, I use it all the time. Think of it as an artificial scab. When it comes off, make a new one, as long as you need to. Crazy Glue is extremely acidic and probably has a sterilizing effect as well. I have sealed up cuts and gone swimming when otherwise wetness would have been a problem for weeks. Crazy Glued cuts also heal much faster, with much less scarring.
