And Spercel tunes are known so far.
But all of those have a hidden locking pin, so this visible locking screw is kind of disappointing, a sign of cheapness in my eyes.

Second, there are Gotoh tuners on a few of the Legacy guitars that I've seen on eBay that are tagged as new and are being sold by authorized dealers. I thought that G&L only used Schaller tuners? I'm not opposed to Gotoh tuners - in fact I really like them and have the locking versions on a couple of my guitars. But, if G&L doesn't use Gotoh tuners this seems strange.
This is one example - http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-L-LEGACY-USA- ... 290wt_1272
The one listed above seems pretty inexpensive for a new Legacy doesn't it? Is it legit?
Thanks

The Gotoh's do have a screw to keep the tuner in place. I prefer pins.

It turns out we did run a few instruments (no more than 10) a few months ago
with some Gotoh Tuners. Our shipments from both Schaller and Sperzel were
delayed and we did have inventory of some Gotoh keys. So yes, there are a
small number of recently made US G&L Guitars out there with Gotoh keys.
Thanks
