Ibanez uses Gotoh tuners on most (if not all?) of their guitars. Gotoh SG381 are a drop-in replacement: https://g-gotoh.com/product/sg381/?lang=en
I thought so as well but it isn't labeled on the back of the tuner or on their website/documentation.

The lower-end models are OEM parts that are labelled Ibanez or sometimes unmarked, but they're still made by Gotoh. Higher-end models sometimes have Gotoh-branded tuners, particularly if they're locking.I thought so as well but it isn't labeled on the back of the tuner or on their website/documentation.
Cheers everybody, I recently entered the M80M owners-club. What an amazing guitar! I haven't been that excited about a new guitar for a while.
Well, I bought it used, took off the strings, cleaned it, put a new set of strings on it (D'addario) and figured that I might've clipped off the bridge-end of the string a tiny bit too short. Now the string "unwraps" a bit too early on the first fret before the nut.
So - I never thought about strings being too short on a 29" guitar, I checked google and found myself hours later still searching for the perfect set of strings to use for the M80M. The internet is pretty contradictional if it comes to that. I find people telling me "Ernie Ball sets work fine" vs. "Ernie Ball sets are too short".
My question now is - which sets do you guys use?
I'm interested in:
Ernie Ball 2625 (10-74)
D'addario NYXL1074
Did anyone use these kinda sets..?
Happy shredding!
Steve
Man I find anything thicker than an 80 to sound like a bass string, even at 30". High end still chimey?So I restrung this week and went a little heavier than usual - with an 84 on the low end.
I don't know what experiences others have had with big string gauges on this instrument - but the 84 ONLY JUST fit into the saddle. Like... width wise. I had real trouble getting enough string into the saddle assembly for the thing to grab onto.
I did finally get it on the fourth attempt but I was seriously worried/annoyed with it there for a bit.
In related news, once it fit, I have to say that the 9-84 Curt Mangan set is pretty freaking good.
