Standard tuners are always a free option on my instruments except the Chameleons

.

I checked out the listing...and it`s a really nice guitar but for that price I`d think I`d stick on some nice quality tuners. I`ve used harp pin`s before as tuners and the down side is you need the wrench to adjust them.

  I am now selling these it if anyone is interested. 
Your guitars grain designs will obviously vary from wood to wood but I will strive to maintain the high contrast grain appearance in the future models to be like this one because its so beautiful.   Available right now on our Etsy page at https://www.etsy.com/listing/162464004/six-string-lead-guitar-hollo...

and one important difference between this and a typical guitar, most others are 24.5" scale to 25" scale, and most have 22 to 24 frets at most. Mine has 25.5" scale but has 26 Frets. (Thats 4 full octaves and part of a 5th octave.)

(also, it has NO truss rod, deliberately. I designed the neck to be able to withstand the warpage from string tension yet still maintain tuning, and still enable bending when desired. See those 2 cutouts? well if you slip a finger into one and dangle the guitar from your finger the guitar balance is so good that it stays balanced on that one finger and stays at the angle you would have when playing it. Also it is SEVERAL POUNDS lighter than any typical electric guitar . And the other important features include a solid brass Nut, Piano Tuning pins to maintain tuning far longer than conventional tuners, and increase sustain, combined with a "Through Neck" construction rather than a bolt on neck or set neck.

Thanks. This one is a hollow body, with through neck construction, extended scale 26 frets on a 25.5" scale. Twin humbuckers, and what you cannot see are the internal microphone and Piezo pickup inside the sound holes ("F" holes.) and the tuners: are actually Piano tuning pins not tuners for guitar. It has a 5 way switch , volume, and 2 tone controls, not shown are the pickup trim rings that are drying right now, made from the same wood as the fretboard and match in grain . The knobs for the controls are made by me, out of rosewood the bridge is custom made and is lower than typical tuno-o-matic bridges.
