Description
This is a set of 6 economy-grade open-gear tuners, perfect for use on guitars, cigar box guitars, dulcimers, banjos, diddley-bows and other stringed instruments. They have a nice square-style base plate with decorative flourishes at either endm and a round whtie pearloid button. The shaft has a single hole at the end, and works best on headstocks that are roughly 9/16" thick. The shorter "horned" side of the base plate should be oriented towards the top of the headstock.
This set includes 6 chromed plastic bushings/ferrules, and 12 chrome or zinc-plated screws. Three of the tuners are for the left side of a headstock, and three are for the right side. Despite the coloration of the photos, the knobs are white pearloid and the metal parts (aside from the brass gear and black screw) are chrome-plated.
The bushings/ferrules included with this offer are chromed plastic, so you can't roughly bash them into place with a hammer or they will crack. Make sure the hole you drill to accept them is properly sized! You can choose a set of metal bushings (nickel, black, brass or antique copper) for only $.99 more!
