Just got a F220SB for free from a friend. Seems to be a decent guitar, it in good shape and plays nice and the serial number is 112. it needs a set of tuners and i was wondering what the guitar is worth and what kind of tuners to get? I want to make sure i get the right ones for this model guitar. I found some on Ebay that are vintage style machine heads for Squier that look right but not sure? Please help!

You have a nice friend and a nice guitar. Your guitar has semi enclosed tuners, which are usual consider okay if your not playing for long hours or on stage. Enclosed tuners like Grover makes are consider to be one of the best, but I think too costly for this guitar. I saw GC is selling a use guitar like yours for $150, but that may be a bit high because your dealing with a chain store. You could upgrade your tuners, but that will need to be done by a guitar tech who has the right tools for fitting the new tuners. I think I should go for a straight replacement, here is a link to StewMac an online guitar parts supplier with a similar tuners to yours for $20.84.

Hope that helps, let us know how it turns out.
