Disappointing quality: inconsistency between tuners and unstable tuning behavior
I had high expectations for these Gotoh MG‑T vintage locking tuners, but this set is disappointing. The tuners feel different from one another: some turn almost without resistance, while others have slightly more friction. That should never happen with Gotoh.
The biggest issue is the very low drag torque. When loosening, it feels as if the string almost pulls the tuner back. When tightening, the tuner reacts so directly that you easily overshoot the correct pitch. As a result, tuning feels unstable and imprecise.
This behavior is typical of a set with too little worm‑gear preload and inconsistent factory lubrication, in short, a bad batch. A shame, because Gotoh normally delivers very consistent quality. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this set.
