First post here on SS and I wanted to share an experience with an awesome Planet Waves rep when finishing up my 7 string project!
I've heard mixed reviews on Planet Waves Auto-Trim tuners, but after splurging and custom ordering a Hipshot bridge and a DiMarzio CrunchLab 7, my budget has been relatively tight, so I had to wrap up the tuners for as a little as possible - I would've preferred Hipshot or Sperzel, but I was able to get my Auto-Trims for barely over $50 from an eBay dealer, which I'm okay with.
Anyways, I had heard that if you contact Planet Waves directly and tell them that you've already purchased a set of 6 tuners, they'll supply you with the extra one for free; I had assumed that this was a joke and went ahead and sent them a message, not really expecting a reply.
An awesome rep named George got back to me, and well, you can see that he not only hooked it up with the tuner, but was also super accommodating to boot!
I just wanted to pass this information on to anyone considering the Auto-Trims and hopefully avoid any scrutiny if this has been posted in the wrong portion of the forum!
