Takamine Pro Series FLUTED TP0508 BASS Side Machine Head
Takamine Machine Heads have lots of subtle differences.
Compare the size of the Machine Head Button, placement of the Machine Head Platform screw and
other attributes to the tuner currently installed on your guitar.

Verify the “footprint” of your guitars machine head.
The “footprint” is the shape of the machine head (tuner) platform that rests against the back of the
guitars head stock.
Verify the location of the screw placement on the Machine Head(tuner) platform and make sure it
matches your current part, if it does not match a new hole must be drilled for the screw.

Special Notice:
Have just one broken tuner ?
AddictedToToneInc may have a single Machine Head for sale.

Sometimes in this fast paced electronics driven world we lose touch with the “humanity” that is represented by all of the internet listings, fax and e-mail numbers.
I am a real person; I am not just a number.
I welcome your questions and speaking with you personally.

Tested 100%
The item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%
Time is taken to check new product when it arrives from Takamine; electronic components pass through another more thorough audio and electronics test before being packaged and shipped.
The vintage preamps and used components sold by AddictedToToneInc pass through this same testing process.
Non electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are carefully inspected and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.
Many sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Takamine equipment they are selling and simply send merchandise without examining the item being sold.
As a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it; most of my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood - an extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!
My endeavors are not approached as a mere "numbers game" or how many boxes of product I can move, for me it is much more personal, most of my clients work very hard for their money; I appreciate and respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.
Takamine does a fabulous job with their electronics and there are very few incidents of manufacturer defect; very, very few incidents but it does happen.
It is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part after it has shipped; this is how I have always operated; it takes more of a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they can trust me to do the job right!
Maybe I am just "old school" but this is the way I feel it should be done.
I have designed, created and employ special testing equipment for the Takamine preamps and electronic components because it is your reputation as well as mine at stake when you walk on stage!
AddictedToToneInc hosts a special Facebook page that specializes in the science and use of the Takamine technology exclusively for our Takamine clients.
Thank you,
William “Bill” Sutherland / AddictedToToneInc / Mr. Takamine USA
