I got this Harley Benton DC Junior a few years ago and it’s been my main axe since.
Only issue is it has the worse tuning stability of any guitar I’ve owned, Not only going out of tune but getting it to correct pitch can be spotty in the first place.
Any ideas for replacement tuning machines? I’ve already replaced the nut with a graphtech one a while back and it only slightly helped when tuning up. I also don’t mind drilling new screw holes if need be.
I’ve been eyeing these for my own guitar with the mounting plates. They are on the pricey side, which is why I haven’t gone ahead.

I put these on my SG recently. One of my stock tuners died and I couldn’t find a replacement. I could have sworn I only paid $100… But maybe I just told myself that to feel better about the purchase.
Anyway, they’re pricey, but easy to put on and they work nice. My only complaint is that the mounting plate looks like cheap metal. For that price you would think the plates would be polished. On the other hand, they’re on the back of the guitar and mostly covered by the tuners anyway.
Yeah most of these are half the price I paid for the entire guitar lmao
I’ll still keep an eye on them thanks!
