Golden Age 1919 Restoration Guitar Tuners with Ivoroid Knobs for Slotted Pegheads

Golden Age 1919 Restoration Guitar Tuners with Ivoroid Knobs for Slotted Pegheads

Unique 3-on-plate tuning machines with true-to-vintage styling. Martin Guitars specially commissioned Golden Age to create these tuners for their 000-30 Authentic 1919 reissue guitar.

Lyre designs adorn the engraved steel baseplates, and the worm gears are mounted in old-style square supports. These tuners also feature the "worm-under-post" reverse gearing popular in the early part of the 20th Century.

Golden Age tuners are the rebirth of popular early 20th Century open-gear tuning machine designs. They're ideal for adding an authentic vintage touch to reproduction instruments, while also improving their tuning.

The ivoroid knobs resemble real ivory, but are a durable non-animal alternative.

• 15:1 gear ratio for improved tuning
• Vintage-style square riveted worm supports
• Round ivoroid knobs with vintage retainer screws
• Worm gear under string post
• 0.236" (6.00mm) string post diameter
• Original mounting screw spacing (screws included)
• 1-3/8" (34.93mm) string post spacing

Note: Plate-mounted tuners can't work efficiently if the pegholes are improperly aligned. Our Guitar Tuner Drill Jig for Slotted Headstocks ensures the correct spacing for accurate tuning.
