Gilbert Tuners

Gilbert Tuners on Guitar No. 36

In addition to innovating a new way to look at the traditional guitar design, John Gilbert used his skills as a machinist to create his own line of tuning machines. In short, his design takes away some mechanical complexity from the traditional design and creates a stronger, smoother and more serviceable tuning machine set. The tuner machine business is now operated by his son in law, Greg. I finally had a request to use a pair of these tuners on a recent guitar - No. 36.
