Rubner is basically the German equivalent of Gotoh. What I like most about Rubner tuning machines is the quality of the plate design. I haven't used them on one of my own guitars, but I did once repair a guitar that had a set installed. That particular set seemed to have a roller that was slightly misaligned with the guitar's tuner holes because one of the Der Jung machines I had around fit easily into the roller holes on the headstock. Other than that one bad experience, I was impressed with the look and craftsmanship. I will probably give them another try one day. I think their Artisan Series machine sets are very stylish.
