Specs
 
These are direct-replacement tuners. There are no extra holes to drill when replacing similar vintage tuners on older Martin and Gibson guitars.

3-left/3-right for solid pegheads, these machines have 16:1 gear ratio for precise tuning, with the same bronze/stainless steel gears, patented worm tension bushings, and uncompromising specifications that have made Waverly first choice for the world's finest guitars. Tuning is accurate and reliable. The 1/4"-diameter vintage-style brass string posts have brass press-fit hex bushings.

Mounting screws included. 11/32"-diameter pegholes required.
