Has anybody experience with Guyker or Wilkinson tuners. I usually use Gotoh, but shipping to Ontario usually adds quite a bit to the price.

I've used a few Wilkinson tuners, both closed and open backed, acoustic and electric (for a 12 string acoustic)
Seem reasonable quality, but don't seem as smooth as the lower priced Gotohs like the 381s which I prefer for budget tuners.

I have used Wilkinson open backs on three guitars and been happy with them.

I used Wilkinson open back tuners on one guitar, and replaced them with Gotoh open backs. The Gotoh's were very very slightly smoother, IMHO, but I'm not sure I could really tell in a blind test.
