grover tuners - fakes?

fourmations

hi all

I just got a set of grover rotomatics 18:1 tuners off ebay
and they actually have "18/1" scribed on the back
on the rounded area

I have never seen this on grovers, its usally blank on the back
I am wondering if they may be fakes,
are there fakes grovers doing the rounds?

I have not installed them yet but they seem
to turn well and are quite heavy, seem like good quality

Afraid to say, this definetely doesn't sound right.

here we go with snaps

I am more suspect as I have looked
at loads of snaps of grovers and none are scribed like these



i have sent the snaps straight to Grover as well!

ha! i just installed chrome grovers on my acoustic last night,they don't look like that at all,either do the gold grovers i took off,
they all had tiny single digits on the back of each where yours have that "C",either a little 3 or 1

My buddy has got a usa washburn and they have the 18:1 scribed on the back too. There the top grovers that you can get and have 18:1 inscribed on the back to describe the grear ratio afaik.

Seems like you got yourself a pretty great deal there.

fourmations

yep, they are more precise due to the increased ratio apparently
