The Tuner SUCK

The tuners don't suck. All Kluson Deluxe and Kluson Gotoh copies (Gotoh's being used on most all Fender American Vintage and Custom Shop guitars) are fine. As has already been said, the tuners do not need replacing unless the gears are worn out. The tuners hold pitch fine, but are not as smooth to tune up as Schaller/Groover style sealed units, because of the ratio difference. Keep the gears lubricated. Use a tube of grease.

Some people complain about the Jaguar from a players point of view. Common complaints are listed below.
