Great tuners, mind the hole size
I put this set on a Harley Benton SC-450Plus guitar, to replace the original set, which was faulty.
While the old and the new tuners are apparently identical, they are very different things. This replacement tuner set runs smooth and holds the tuning incredibly well! I only need to adjust tuning when temperature changes and the guitar materials change properties.
At this price, it would not be justified to buy anything else for a single cut guitar, unless I'd want a different design or finish. I repeat, they are flawless. The only thing I don't know is their reliability in time; I only used them for a few months.
The tuners look just like in the pictures, vintage nickel and the keys in that muddy opalescent green.
Cons: although from the same manufacturer, the replacement set was not matching the guitar. I could mount it by enlarging the holes, using a drill. This is an issue with Harley Benton product interoperability, rather than with this product.

a re-send for a bad one
the tuners that came on my L450 plus were horrible. they were so stiff and hard to tune.
the second the crew thomann heard about my problems with my guitar they told me they would be happy to change the the guitar but i preferred to keep that guitar so two thumbs up for customer service!!!.
so these tuners are very smooth to handle and they keep in tune pretty well.
and they look so nice!!!

Good for the price.
Add a nice vintage look. In my case to an SG style kit guitar that I wanted to appear more vintage.
The mechanisms are smooth and they seem to hold tuning well.
Looks are good from a metre away, but close up the moulding lines are very visible (and raised to the touch). But a couple of hours with a scalpel, high grit wet and dry paper and steel wool had them polished up like sea glass.
Screws are soft, so be very careful about tightening them as they strip easily.

Needed to replace crappy original tuners on my cheap acoustic. These fitted nicely and stay in tune much better. The plastic tuner buttons are a bit cheap feeling but still holding up.

Brittle plastic
The tuners are generally good, but the plastic leaves much to be desired. A small blow and it will crumble. As for the mechanism - it is excellent, I put these on my LP

Good value
These tuners hold tune very well so far. I have just got them recently so cant say how long they will last. I will edit this review after a few month. I use them on my Harley Benton L-450Plus single cut guitar.

easy fix
had an old guitar i wanted to sell but the tuners were broken. these are cheap and work just as intended. no weird "jumping" when tuning.
pretty sure anyone can replace tuners just make sure the washers fit into your guitar. I forgot about that and the included ones were to big, the old ones fit these though

wonderful replacement tuners
One of my Harley Benton guitars arrived with one of the pegs broken. One quick email to Thomann and within days I had a full set of 6 replacement tuners. Very easy to assemble. Excellent customer service by Thomann
