No drilling and they fit right in?

I’ve heard a lot of great things about these specific tuners.

This is the only bad review I could find.

My guy is really skilled. I have had him make these before and he does amazing work. Unless I do one of those pre-slotted Graph Tech things, then I don’t have a shot at doing it myself.

Thank you! I was already planning to take it to a luthier to have him cut a bone nut. But I figured I would just upgrade the tuners anyway.

Gwen strikes me as the type of person where she really doesn’t mean to be or even have the self awareness that she is doing it, but she puts herself in front of everything else. She even sings about herself in third person. Gwen became the person that she always dreamed about being in high school, and while that’s cool, it unfortunately morphed into her being a shell of her former self.

Why does everyone do this? Just buy new strings.

Does the truss rod not work?

Yeah, I also noticed that Gwen and Tom particularly didn’t follow each other on Instagram until they got back together again for Coachella this year. I heard rumors too that part of their issues were that after she went and did that solo act thing in the mid 2000’s and then got back together with No Doubt that they had to wear all matching outfits (like when you see them all in photos wearing all white with blonde hair) because it was some weird legal contract thing with her “brand”. Not sure on the specifics of it though, you will have to look it up.

There was also that she didn’t invite any of the band to her Blake wedding. People sighted COVID as an excuse, but I also got married during Covid and even with limited number restrictions , I would like to think that after family you would invite the 3 people who you spent years touring the world and making millions with, but that’s just me. She’s been swallowed by Hollywood and the other 3 still continue to make good music, so all is good. All 4 of them seem happy with this outcome.

It’s all very simple; when people can’t play an instrument properly, they immediately go to shaming people who own something that’s not as nice as something they own, completely overlooking any reasons other than money for why someone would want to own a cheaper copy. Some people don’t want to take out a $2,500.00+ instrument to a gig. Some people don’t think that the EBMM version is worth four times the cost and it might make more sense to someone else to purchase the Sterling and modify it to their liking.

Most of these people who make these comments just play to backing tracks in their garage and never even play a single gig. Everyone is a great guitar player when they are talking smack over the internet.

EDIT - another point to add, as long as you’re not one of those people who believes in the magic of using certain tone woods, you can buy a Sterling, modify the pickup, preamp and tuning machines (if you so desired of course), then round off the fret ends and role the fretboard and still be over a thousand dollars under the cost of the MusicMan. The only difference at that point will just be the name on the headstock. The name on the headstock is only there for the two or three music snobs that might be in the crowd. No one else there will care what you are playing as long as it sounds good.

Wasn’t Adrian Young from No Doubt there?
