I bought this piece of shit acoustic for 20 bucks a while ago. Its in very rough shape but I don\'t care. I figured it would be a fun little project for me in the summer (mind you I bought this thing back in February). The head was broken but it was glued back together and it seems to be holding. But the tuners have all seized. I need to replace them. Here are a couple pics of the guitar and tuners. If anyone can help me locate them, that would be sweet.

Smash it. Then buy a new one.

Interesting. What you have there is a cheapie "parlor guitar." (Judging by the body shape) I never cared much for the hybrid peg head. I prefer slotted heads to have nylon strings, and solid heads to have steel strings.
Based on the bridge pins, that guitars seems to have been designed for steel strings, so I guess it\'s an old-tymie parlor guitar.
You can buy a replacement set of tuning machines at any GOOD guitar store. Or you can order online. Here is one example:

You can pay anything you want. I saw some classical tuning machine sets that cost 10x or 20x what you paid for the guitar.

Yeah, this guitar was definitely a cheapie. I didn\'t really care. I thought it would be fun to fix up so I bought it for 20. Probably should have tried for 10 though. And it is a steel string. I\'m gonna get a good acoustic eventually though. This will be fun to fuck around with for a while.
