“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.!

- DSDes S.Verified BuyerReviewing3+3 Ratio Acoustic Guitar Machine Heads Gold Finish. "45 Degree mounting screw" (GT-118-D0)I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoBest Tuners in The World
Absolutely love ratio tuners. The way all tuners should be. The price may put some people off but really they are competitvely priced against big name tuners like Grover or Gotoh and you're lucky if they are 18:1 ratio.
I've replaced most of my collection with Ratio tuners and still love my earlier special order for my 12 string acoustic. Stays in tune so well. and now I enjoy picking it up and playing without having to re-tune every time.
Great customer service and regular updates after placing order.

I have installed Ratio tuners on other guitars and with the new Guild, it was the first change I decided to make. Much more precise than the OEM Gotoh SE700. BUT, I have not installed these tuners yet as I am waiting for the local luthier to change the nickel finish. I wanted these tuners black, as I have had on the other closed Ratios. Maybe a gentle nudge to offer this finish. The screw holes will have to be filled in as the included screw for the Ratios are a bit less robust than the Gotoh. Still, I am pleased to know that these will soon be installed, along with the TUSQ bridge pins, presentation style, with Paua inlay.
Nice work from good people!!
