Gotoh - SD90 Vintage Magnum Lock Traditional Tuners 3 Aside 15:1 Gear Ratio

Introducing the impeccable Gotoh SD90 Machine Heads, proudly crafted in Japan to deliver unparalleled precision and durability. Renowned as some of the highest quality machine heads available on the market today, Gotoh continues to set the standard for excellence in guitar tuning.

Designed with a vintage-style aesthetic, these Gotoh machine heads feature locking string posts that revolutionise the tuning experience. Each tuner features a knurled thumb wheel on the back, allowing for quick and secure clamping of the guitar strings inside the tuner post. This innovative mechanism ensures optimal string tension, eliminating the frustration of slipping or detuning while playing.

With a 15:1 gear ratio, these machine heads offer exceptional tuning accuracy and stability. The gear ratio refers to the number of turns the tuner knob requires to rotate the string post fully.

Sold as a set of 6, Gotoh Machine Heads come packaged in Gotoh's own branded box and are complete with screws and push-fit bushings, providing a comprehensive package for seamless installation. Please note that the included push-fit bushings measure 8.8mm in diameter, which are not suitable for headstocks with 10mm tuner holes. However, Gotoh offers a practical solution with their adapter bushing set (available separately here), enabling compatibility with headstocks drilled to a larger diameter. This versatile option ensures that Gotoh Machine Heads can be easily adapted to fit a wide range of guitars, expanding their compatibility and usability.

When you choose Gotoh, you're investing in a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. With meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, these machine heads guarantee exceptional performance and reliability. Experience the precision and durability that have made Gotoh a trusted name among musicians worldwide.

INSTALLATION OF GUITAR PARTS:
We do not accept responsibility for any damage caused to your instrument as a result of fitting any part purchased from us. We strongly advise that customers carefully inspect and offer up the part to their instrument to ensure proper sizing and compatibility before proceeding with installation. If the part does not fit, do not attempt to modify or force it onto the instrument. Please contact us immediately to arrange a return or exchange. Any attempts to alter the part or force its installation may void eligibility for returns or refunds.

STANDARD TEMPLATE PICKGUARDS:
Before installing, please do a "dry run" on your instrument to ensure all mounting holes and pickup cuts are correctly positioned. Do not remove the protective film or install any components until this check is complete. Once the protective cover has been removed, the pickguard is no longer in a re-saleable condition, and the replacement warranty will be void. We cannot accept returns or issue refunds for standard template pickguards that have had their protective film removed.

CUSTOM-MADE PICKGUARDS:
Custom pickguards are non-returnable and non-refundable. This includes any pickguard with requested modifications, such as repositioning, deleting, or resizing holes or slots.

Due to the custom nature of these items, they cannot be resold or reused, making returns and refunds unavailable.
