I accidentally came across this video and looks pretty cool! Have any of you guys tried this before?

Done this several times, most of these open gear Fender style tuners are reversible.

Yeah, I was kinda surprised Dave didn't know that you could do that. And, yes, I've done it a time or two myself. I think the problem with tuners is that we tend to think of them as "left (or right) hand tuners" - and they're not. They're left (or right) side tuners - and for us lefties who're looking for in line tuners, we usually need right side ones. As for those Schallers - it took me less than a minute per tuner to convert the last set. But I guess I've had more practice.... ;)

I always have to shake my head a bit when I see reversible type left handed tuners listed for a good bit higher price than the right handed ones.

"Aww, suck it!" :lol: :lol:

D-tuners, on the other hand, are not reversible. I am actually going through the tribulations right now of trying to get the right tuners for a bass. I ordered a treble-side D-tuner and they sent me a bass-side, so I am dead in the water at the moment. It is on its way back, now. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I have since to decided to go with a different finish.
