I just read through the catalogue and had a look at the Gotohs SGL510Z set again at Axesrus. They appear to be the same as the SG510s's but just fractionally larger on the main body to allow for the 21:1 ratio, all other dimensions relating to fitting appear to be the same. Axesrus also look to be a bit cheaper, so I thought I would order from there, but guess what, they're out of stock so I'll give them a call tomorrow. I know you probably have it sorted but don't forget that the ones I used are minis. I don't bother too much about ratios myself as long as they work smoothly and look nice

No, I've not sorted it really as I'm a compulsive ditherer when it comes to internet buying guitar bits due to my tendency to overthink and over research everything. My choices then often get made on specs, reviews etc. but with no knowledge of the real world suitability for my particular requirements. I've never even thought about ratios before, so have no experience of the practical pros and cons, but agree that the most important thing is that they work smoothly and look nice. I've just checked Stewmac this morning and see they have what I think is the very set in stock which with air mail work out much the same price. Are these the same as the ones you have used? If they are, I will get them ordered. Gotoh Mini 510 3+3 Tuners with Metal KnobsThanks again for your help with this.

Oooh, Stewmac - seemingly everything on their site has a Cancer and Reproductive Harm warning. I can understand that in relation to products containing some solvents, but I wonder what they think you're going to do with these machine heads?!

Well, if you got really carried away, and were really into it, in your gyrations, you might get the D string tuner caught in your left nostril.

Yes I believe they are although mine a 1:15 ratio rather than 1:18 that the Stewmac ones are. Cosmo Black is the colour ☺️ Phil PS I have now also changed the strap button on the neck heel to a Cosmo Black one to match bought from Glued To Music.

I eventually found the Gotoh minis in stock, so they're on the way.

Slightly unrelated to the OP so apologies for that, but has anyone tried to match a heel strap button with the bronze coloured LR Baggs output jack on their guitar? As an unashamedly shallow and fickle person, I have been on the lookout for something suitable for a while...
