rajeshraman Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hello all, My JTV-69 fell down and broke off a tuner. :-( I have a few questions: 1. Can I can get a replacement Line 6 JTV-69 tuner assembly (i.e., just one)? Is there a part number and store that anybody can recommend? 2. If not, do any of you have recommendations for a good replacement brand/model? I've been told that Gotohs are good. Is there a model that works well for JTV-69? Thanks in advance! ++Rajesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 If you can't get a single replacement, get a set of Sperzel machines. Great locking tuners, I have them on several guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seems like there must be a way to buy just one replacement tuner somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainframemac Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think these are the tuners http://www.ebay.com/bhp/jinho-tuners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snhirsch Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think these are the tuners http://www.ebay.com/bhp/jinho-tuners Nope. The OEM tuners have a large knob on the rear to tighten the string lock. I see no locking tuners on that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The JTV69 has locking tuners. I don't know who makes them but they work just fine. I'm surprised that there is no source of single replacement tuners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 you could always use it as a chance to upgrade... the USA models use hipshot tuners, i don't think that the holes line-up on those though.... i upgraded my older variax to planet wave autotrims... very easy upgrade.

Charlie_Watt Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I too upgraded my 500 to planet wave autotrim locking tuners. I really like them and they were reasonably priced. The set made for strat necks should work here. My 500 had a 3 on a side headstock. They should be drop in replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice9mike Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The Planet Waves autotrims will also work on the JTV-89 and 89F. Drop in replacements with a better mechanism and autotrim is much more convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajeshraman Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Looks like the consensus is for upgrading the entire lot - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 i always hate spending money to end up exactly where i started... i use situations like this to improve things and get ahead. that's what i'd do! Looks like the consensus is for upgrading the entire lot - thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
