Any technical musicians forums?

[nukehella]

I want to change the tuning heads on a spare guitar and want to browse some forums on the topic.The guitar is a Baby Taylor 301m.Taylors website is nice to look at but I want some luthier/technician type info.Anyone know where acoustic musicians hang out on the net?

I changed mine on a Strat to Grovers. Taylor makes some fine guitars - maybe you can get an upgrade from them?

Would you like to see one here? We could add one the Musician's Corner.

I don't know what kind of response it would get.I'm just doing this as a project and I thought to ask here,FWIW.Usually if I have something I need done I go to 2 outstanding luthiers I know but they are both unavailable.I talked to one of them and he said to get Grovers but there are a ton of different sizes/styles.Even the selection of mini-tuners is large.

I can afford to play around with this one because I also have a Taylor 710(sweetest of the sweet)which I do not touch with tools.

Taylors website wasn't much help,in the specs it just called the tuners some generic name,no real specs.I might wind up calling them but it seems there has to be acoustic music geek sites somewhere.

You should call them. A friend of mine did - he said they were incredibly helpful. Otherwise, you cant go wrong with Grovers

Ok #9-I guess I'll just take the easy way out and ask Taylor tomorrow.For what these things cost they can afford good help.

I'm still open to ideas if anyone has any.
