Anybody know where I can get some open back tuners with rosewood buttons?
Waverly sells them with snakewood,
but I really don't want to spend $200 on tuners.
They don't have to be open back,
but this build is a "vintagy" one.
Thanks!

Buy pretty much any open back tuner, and Burton LeGeyt can make the rosewood buttons for you. They're incredible.

No commercial listings are supposed to be there (other than sponsors of course)

for instance I wouldn't sell my DVD's there.
