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
