Solid Peghead Guitar Golden Age Restoration Tuners with Engraved Bell-end, Relic Nickel and Ivoroid Knobs

Introducing the rebirth of pre-war tuners! Our replica 3-on-plate tuners, with a distinctive engraved motif, were originally supplied by Waverly to guitar manufacturers from the 1920s to the '40s. These tuners feature authentic steel baseplates and ivoroid knobs, along with a 15:1 gear ratio for improved tuning compared to the original models.

Exclusively available from StewMac, our Golden Age tuners are crafted with expert attention to detail and exact specifications. They are a revival of the popular early 20th Century tuning machine designs, characterized by simple steel plates and open gears. These replacements have long been sought after by collectors and repairmen, who aim to restore older guitars and upgrade their tuning. Our special relic nickel-finished versions are designed to complement vintage hardware and enhance the authentic appearance of reproduction guitars.

Key features of the Golden Age tuners include the distinctive engraved motif, as supplied by Waverly to guitar manufacturers from the 1920s to the '40s, as well as a pre-war style that adds an authentic look to reproduction guitars. These tuners are particularly well-suited for builders specializing in replica instruments or restoration work. Additionally, the 15:1 gear ratio provides better tuning capabilities compared to the originals.

The set includes tuners, press-fit bushings, and mounting screws, making it a convenient and comprehensive solution for guitar enthusiasts and craftsmen. Experience the rebirth of pre-war tuners with our Golden Age collection, available exclusively from StewMac.
