Vintage Style Locking Tuners for Strat Tele Guitar

The tuners featured here have a 14:1 gear ratio and are designed to be strung through the posts. They are intended for use with vintage guitars that have smaller 8.1mm tuner holes, and will not fit guitars with modern 10mm tuner holes without the use of conversion bushings.

These tuners employ a self-locking system that utilizes string tension, making them a valuable asset for maintaining the tuning of vibrato-equipped guitars without the risk of strings breaking or slipping off. This tuning stability is achieved through the traditional thumbwheel-style locking mechanism.

Each set of tuners comes complete with the necessary bushings and screws for installation.

The 14:1 gear ratio provides a high level of precision when adjusting the tuning, allowing for fine-tuning with minimal effort. This is particularly beneficial for vintage instruments, where the smaller 8.1mm tuner holes can make tuning more challenging with standard tuners.

The self-locking system, activated by the string tension, ensures that the tuning remains stable even during heavy use or when employing a vibrato system. This feature helps to prevent string breakage and slippage, which can be a common issue with some tuning mechanisms.

The traditional thumbwheel-style locking mechanism provides a familiar and intuitive way to secure the strings in place, making the tuning process straightforward and efficient. This design has been a popular choice among guitarists for decades, offering a reliable and time-tested solution for maintaining instrument tuning.

The included bushings and screws simplify the installation process, allowing for a seamless integration with vintage guitars that feature the smaller 8.1mm tuner holes. This eliminates the need for additional modifications or the use of conversion bushings, making these tuners a plug-and-play solution for those looking to upgrade their vintage instruments.

Overall, these tuners offer a combination of precision, stability, and ease of use, making them a valuable addition for musicians who require reliable tuning performance, particularly on vibrato-equipped vintage guitars with the smaller 8.1mm tuner holes.
