I bought this guitar like 3 years ago, HImor brand, made in China, for like $225. I like it quite a bit. One downside though is that the tuners suck, too much play in them. What can you recommend as a replacement?

GOTOH make great tuning pegs and while you’re at it you can get locking tuners that make string changes a breeze. Plus they have a lot of options for color combos.
Big fan of gotoh and schaller locking tuners. I have them on everything.
Ditto.
I have a guitar with a L3/R3 style headstock that has no back tilt and I was able to order them in different post heights depending on which string (E’s are longest shaft, A and B are medium height, and D and G are the shortest) and it creates the perfect back pressure on the nut for each string. Gotoh is HIGHLY recommended.
