Golden Age Restoration Tuners for Slotted Peghead Guitar with Square-end Baseplates

received the shipment to one week after purchase, perfect!, the product really all good.

Bought them for a 1933 National resonator. Didn't want to alter the instrument and I didn't have to thanks to Stew-Mac! Perfect fit and they looked identical to the original tuning machines.

I put these tuners on my Stewart Mcdonald 000 guitar kit and I am very pleased with the precision and quality.

I've tried a few sets of Golden Age tuners now and have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I would not use them again.
They look good, right on for a vintage style restoration or relic and the price is good. Unfortunately they just don't work well at all.
There is a mountain of slack in the mechanism. When changing tunings you need at least three shots at it before the guitar will stay in tune.

These tuners are great - they provide great quality at a reasonable price and give the vintage look appropriate for an older instrument.

Howdy,
I'm into restoring old parlor guitars and have used several sets of these. There is no alternative. The engraved ones are nice too!

Cheers

I restored a 1932 National Trojan from the ground up, finish, resonator, etc. The right tuners make all the difference, these looked exactly like what National used on these economy guitars, but WORK a million times better, great product.

I recently purchased a now discontinued Fullerton parlor guitar on eBay. It was equipped with very "run of the mill" tuning machines... I wanted very much to maintain the vintage look and feel of a late 19th century Martin that the Fullerton was modeled after! And these Golden Age tuners really fit the bill! They function beautifully and as someone mentioned in an earlier review, the guitars resonance and timbre has even improved! Thank you Stewmac for carrying such a great product!

I expect that we are just about the biggest user of these great tuners as to date I've fitted about 250 sets to our guitars! I searched far and wide to find tuners that were, well just "right" for 30s resonator guitars and these tuners are simply perfect. I love the basic, functional design and pragmatic, simple engineering. These tuners are a basic "workhorse" fixture for vintage workhorse guitars.

I got the ivory knobs and they look a little transparent and fragile, time will tell. Love the post industrial finish, mechanically slick. Next time I'll go with black knobs. Fair price, installed on an old martin 000-18.
