Hi guys

Can anyone tell me whether or not you can buy Black precision tuning pegs from a spares shop, as I am looking to replace my current ones.

Many thanks
Daz

Yes. But with environmental regulations, black parts are getting a little more scarce. Get 'em while you can!

I've read some manufacturers were having trouble getting RoHS-compliant black plating, and that's why the black parts may seem harder to find. I seem to remember Gotoh may have been one such manufacturer.

Disclaimer: I've haven't purchased black parts lately, so I'm only passing along other forum's hearsay. :D

LOL...I thought you were telling fact - being a lawyer and all, maybe environmental lawyer :) I just got some black knobs for one of the basses.

LOL - NEVER TRUST A LAWYER :D

I was relating facts as I read them, I think some companies did have challenges adapting to new regulations, particularly in the EU, but the supply seems fine again.
