Banjo tuners on Gibson tenor and plectrum guitars
A friend of mine just came into a vintage Gibson plectrum guitar, and asked me to help him with the ID. From the FON and features, I identified it as a 1936 PG-1. When I was looking it up, I was surprised to see that there is no mention of tuners of any kind in Gruhn's Guide To Vintage Guitars. It got me wondering about the banjo tuners. I "think" that Gibson used banjo tuners on all the pre-WWII tenor and plectrum guitars. I've seen a couple of post-war tenors with regular guitar tuners. Can anybody fill me in? Thanks!
