I bought a set of Gotoh 510 Tuners about 7-8 years ago for my old Larrivee. I took them off when I sold the Larrivee and put them in my drawer. I put them on the Gibson tonight - it had Grover Minis on it which are very sturdy and stable.
The original Gotoh buttons are a bit modern looking for me, so I replaced them with ebony ones back when they were still on the Larrivee. The body is a bit modern too, but I rarely look at them from the back. When I was tuning up, I remembered why I loved them - it's hard to believe how smooth they are. Seriously nice.
I bought them in a closing down sale for around £35. It looks like they now go for around £90. I'd say they rival the Waverlys on my Martin for smoothness and fine tuning. The Waverlys are nearly twice the price. I recommend checking them out if you are in the market for some extremely nice tuners and don't mind the more modern look. This isn't my photo but looks very similar to mine with the ebony buttons:

Jo whoever he is.
