“After reading some reviews and seeing the ads, I decided to try a set of Graph Tech’s ratio tuners on my American standard Strat. The tuners arrived and I was very pleased with the quality and finish. Installing the tuners was a breeze using the included InvisoMatch plates — no need to drill any holes in my beloved Strat and the performance of these tuners is outstanding!"
"Tuning becomes incredibly easy and holds tune even when using the tremolo bar. I would highly recommend these as a great upgrade to any guitar and will be telling my customers what a great addition they would be for very stable and easy tuning.
Thanks, Graph Tech for a great product.!

These are my second set of Ratios. Both are on guitars with old school non-fine tuner Floyd Rose bridges. They are high quality, have smooth action, and keeps things locked in tune. Plus they look great.
