Specs
With Waverly tuners, your guitar plays in tune and stays in tune. Waverly's patented design combines stainless steel with bronze to create smooth, non-slip tuning. The perfect replacement tuners for valued instruments, Waverly machines are handmade to fit precisely without drilling on older Martin and Gibson guitars. Manufacturers such as C.F. Martin, Gibson, Collings, Santa Cruz, Huss & Dalton, Sams, and Bourgeois choose Waverlys for their finest instruments.

Whether you're fitting a solid-peghead or slotted-peghead guitar, there are Waverly models to fit.

Conversion peghead bushings are available for installing Waverly tuning machines in larger diameter 3/8" diameter (Grover, Gotoh, Schaller, etc.) pegholes.

Direct replacement design: No additional mounting holes to drill when replacing similar vintage machines on older Martin & Gibson guitars.

More efficient operation & more precise tuning: 16:1 gear ratio. Patented worm tension bushing eliminates looseness.

Long life with less wear: Stainless steel worm gears have twin bushings. String post gears are machined from bronze alloy; more durable than brass.

Authentic knobs and string posts: Ivoroid knobs resemble real ivory, but are a durable non-animal alternative. Old style tapered string posts are nickel-plated brass.

Handmade in Bozeman Montana USA.

The best tuners, the BEST customer support

I love Waverly tuners & buy them for all of my guitars, but I love the Stew-Mac customer support even more. I purchased a used Martin 000-18 Norman Blake which comes with these tuners, so I was not a customer of Stew-Mac or Martin. One tuner had a mild grinding and even with a drop of oil, it still was not smooth. I called Stew-Mac to purchase 1 replacement tuner. Though we had no business relationship, they offered to swap out the entire set for a new set. I had to talk them down to a single tuner. This was the most stellar customer service that I've ever experienced. I am a long time customer of Stew-Mac, but I hadn't mentioned that when I called in and asked to buy 1 tuner.

There is not a chance that I will ever again purchase anything guitar related without checking first to see what Stew-Mac offers

Best tuners I have ever used!

These are the highest quality tuners I have ever seen or used. They are incredibly smooth and the gear ratio makes it very easy to get an accurate tune. The thing that impresses me most about these tuners is their ability to keep a guitar in tune for long lengths. I put a set of these on an acoustic of mine and after three days of playing, put the guitar down for 2 months, and the guitar was still right on the money and in tune!

Amazing tuners, worthy of the escalated prices.
