RATIO Machine Heads are a high performance transmission for your guitar. The core tension of every string is different, each requiring a unique gear ratio to deliver tuning perfection. RATIO’s 

patented gear technology delivers premium tuning performance every time by giving each string its own specific tuning gear. 

THE SIMPLE GENIUS BEHIND RATIO® MULTI-GEARED  MACHINE HEADS


With RATIO, each string has it's own calibrated gear ratio.  You get fine tuning on the sensitive,  thicker core strings (like the plain G string or Low E string) and coarser tuning on the thinner cores; anywhere from 12:1 to 39:1 gear ratio. With Ratio® installed, one 360-degree turn of the knob is about one tone, for every string. Total control and precision which makes tuning, re-tuning and open tunings fast, precise and intuitive.


The fastest, most precise tuning in the universe!

PREDICTABLE, PRECISE TUNING, RETUNING AND OPEN TUNINGS.

Ratio® tuning feels natural. You don't have to think about which string you are tuning because they all feel and respond the same. No more overshooting the Low E or plain G. No more twisting away on the High E or D string. Open tunings have never been easier. String gauges such as light top, heavy bottom are no problem with Ratio®; they still do the same precision tuning..

NOT JUST ANOTHER MACHINE HEAD.

Ratio is more than just another entry into the machine head market. Instead, Ratio has reinvented how machine heads function with the musician.
