For some reason I don't see those Gotoh open backs on stew Mac or all parts.

This is the first time I've seen these also. I think it is great that Gotoh has dealt with the one design issue (IMO) on open back tuners. EVERY set of open backs I've ever had (Waverly/Gotoh/Grover) had the same issue. Once the guitar is up to pitch, the tuner is stiff, which I think (!) is the tuner shaft binding on the bushing ever so slightly. With this new Gotoh, they have dealt with that by making the tuner constructed like a sealed gear (bushings screw in to the tuner body).
I look forward to seeing these when they become available. Jimmy

The other reason that these tuners are probably too new to be at Allparts yet. Then Jimmy wrote: Quote:

You may want to consider the all carbon fiber guitar tuners made by Italian company Heart Sound. A six tuner set only weighs 42 grams. That's only 7 grams per tuner. By comparison, Gotoh Stealth tuners, possibly the lightest available on the market before these Heart Sound tuners are 11.8 grams per tuner. There's a good chance I'll be trying out these Heart Sounds on my Emerald Chimaera 6/12 doubleneck. Of course, I'll need three sets.
http://heart-sound.com/en/products/g...ning-machines/ Myself and another AGF member "ac" have been in recent touch with the company. The tuners are available through their website.

I put Hipshot open back tuners with Hipshot small black plastic "Schaller-look" buttons on my Taylor:
  Just some plastic Gotoh buttons for the current tuners should make a decent difference.

Sorry, but since I'be been working out I can't feel the difference in my guitar's weight between open and closed back tuners on my guitar.
... now could someone help me find a guitar strap that's long enough to go over my neck?

It looks like they're stamped "19x"...
