Gotoh tuners: 510 vs 'standard' series - The Gear Page
Jan 24, 2013 · I really like the standard Gotoh tuners on my other guitar. More so than the Grovers and Schallers I have on other guitars, although I have to mention that these are both a bit older. Nevertheless, the Gotohs are light, tight and precise, so I want Gotoh tuners for my SG as well. Now, there are two choices for Gotoh tuners:
Original Floyd Rose vs Gotoh Locking Trem | The Gear Page
Aug 20, 2017 · The Gotoh has a much better arm attachment (push in, adjustable tension, no slop), locking studs, brass block with lock screws for the springs, and an overall better feel (IMO). They're also about half the price of an OFR. You can replace the Gotoh blocks with a bigger one but be sure it's made for it. Plenty on Ebay last I looked.

Jan 15, 2023 · The Gotoh tremolo requires no routing to be mounted. Think of the Gotoh as a Floyd Rose but without all the thick saddles or thick tremolo plate.

Are Wilkinson's tuners as good as Grover or Gotoh?
Apr 9, 2016 · I think (not at all sure) that Wilkinson is a 'license', rather than a manufacturer. My latest set of Wilkinson tuners have slop and backlash exceeding the stock tuners on my most recent SX guitar. I'm sure a Gotoh manufactured Wilkinson product would be fine, but there are lots of super-cheap Wilkinson parts out there these days.

Gotoh GE1996T vs Original Floyd Rose - The Gear Page
Sep 21, 2022 · I was playing a guitar with a Gotoh GE1996T tremolo, and it's pretty nice, but I noticed that the tremolo arm seems higher from the tremolo itself and the guitar body then an Original Floyd Rose, which kinda bothered me, because I'm used to the Original Floyd Rose height. Two questions: 1) Can...
