Some advice needed here from a more seasoned mando player. I've started to use my Batwing a bit more than I used to and while it does me for blues gigs and duos (I've got a non-electric H8025 fitted with a piezo bridge) I'm not mad about the tuners at all. I don't like the feel of them (too stiff) and the oval buttons seem too "cramped" vs a round button normally found on a mando. So I want to change the machine heads. How much do I need to spend? I've read elsewhere that the cheapo Golden Gate sets are basically rebadged Gotohs and thus perfectly okay. Is this the case?
Anybody?
