Antique steel finish, for slotted peghead
Golden Age Restoration Tuners for 12-string
We're pleased to introduce these fine quality pre-World War II style tuning machines. Their simple open-gear 6-on-plate design will improve the tuning of Stella, Martin and similar slot-head 12-string guitars, without adding significant weight to the peghead. The antiqued steel finish adds an appropriately authentic look to reproduction instruments, too. Complete set for 12-string slotted peghead.
"For 20 years we've been dying for someone to manufacture tuners like these. People who build replica instruments or who do any restoration or repair work are just going to love these. Absolutely terrific, StewMac!"
— Frank Ford, Gryphon Stringed Instruments, Palo Alto CA

Your Golden Age 12-string tuners are wonderful! I finally installed a set on my personal 12-string, a Holzapfel made nearly 100 years ago. I had been struggling for months trying to keep it in tune with its original tuning machines...This is the third set of Golden Age tuners I have used so far and you may rest assured they will not be the last! | | | Neil Harpe

Guys like me have waited a long time for these, and they're a dream come true. They're great — nice and tight, with a good gear ratio, and they allow me to keep the old-style spacing so I can have a headstock of the same dimensions as the originals. | | | Todd Cambio
