Steinberger Gearless Tuners

My 1976 Bi-centennial Firebird out mojo's the new ones with it's tone and feel, and now it can be used live, staying in tune!! All I expected and more. The guitar now balances perfectly, with a lighter headstock! Tuning is easy and precision. Wow!

You need bushings to install this on Gibson Firebird.

These tuners are very ergonomic and require no wrist twisting to tune your guitar they allow the guitar to stay in tune better because they don't coil and with the new design they do not slip on the high e string.
Very reliable and easy to use when on stage . I won't ever use another type of tuner .

I had these put on by a pro and they are unbelievably easy to use and maintain! I tune a lot, and these tuners are going on every guitar I currently have, and any I may get in the future!

A little pricy, but, totally worth it in looks and functionality. These are all I use now, and have been for 3 years, and several guitars. Highly recommended.

Great build quality, but my biggest concern is that the strings don't leave the nut straight. I popped these in as replacement for my strat's locking tuners, and the way they enter the tuner causes some binding in the nut. Just something to think about. I'm going to plug the old holes, then redrill them to be centered.

I replaced the crappy banjo tuners on my '02 Gibson Firebird V. These are without a doubt, the best tuners I've ever used. I've been playing for about 22 yrs and have used just about every tuner available. The Steinbergers win hands down. I can string up my guitar, stretch the strings good and that's it. The next day, they're still in tune, unlike most tuners which take a little longer for new strings to settle in. I woulds also suggest Dan's Guitar Player Repair Guide. It's unbelievable.

I purchased these tuners about 30 days ago, and installed them on a Nechville Banjo with a tunneled fifth string. The tuners are all placed on the Headstock, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome! The look compliments the Modern design of the instrument and make tuning a breeze. I have none of the tuning issues that are common with traditional Banjo tuners. The smooth operation and comfortable feel are greatly appreciated.

Anyone looking for an attractive and precise tuner should try these. The cost is very reasonable in comparison to conventional banjo tuners, and once you try them, you will not go back!

I installed these tuners months ago and I am still blown away by them. I have waited to find a downfall, but remain impressed. I will have these on every stringed instrument I own.

I like to try innovative new products that are hopefully an improvement over old standards. I ordered the Steinberger tuners for a '85 Jap Strat rebuild looking for tuning stability. Once installed, they strung up easily and tuned nice and smooth with good fine adjustment. Over time it was realized that the Steinbergers would drift requiring frequent retuning.

I feel that the design is really an improvement over conventional 90 degree geared tuners, however, the development process for this product is incomplete. There needs to be some tension device or resistance built into the Steinbergers to keep the threaded tuning system in position. The 40:1 mechanical advantage is almost too much (yet provides super accurate tuning) and the weight of the tuning knob overcomes the string tension. If this problem could be corrected these would be an evolutionary jump in tuner design.

I had to rate these only two stars because as a tuner they do not work as well as a conventional tuner, if this could be corrected the design would rate six stars.

After talking with StewMac customer service they allowed me to return the tuners for a refund. As usual, StewMac puts us, the customers, before sales. Thanks StewMac.
