The plating on the tuners on my Collings was flaking off. Stew Mac sent me a new set in exchange at no charge. Fortunately they were the same color so I left the bushings from the old set in place.

I am the proud temporary holder of three fine guitars. (You do realize that they will outlive us.)

Congratulations. That sounds like a real keeper. Could you post a couple of Pics or better yet a video.
We'd love to see it.
