RATIO® patented gear technology
RATIO® - Calibrated Machine Heads incorporate different string gauges into the tuning equation.

From Low B to G - 48:1, 36:1, 30:1, 20:1, 18:1.

We balanced the gear ratios to each string simplifying the tuning process.

With RATIO®, a half-turn is a semi-tone!

Every string reacts the same to any tuning adjustment. Predictable, precise tuning, on every string.

    Great solution for my new PRS SE NF3

    I purchased a PRS SE NF3 a couple weeks ago. It is a great guitar, but wanted a locking tuner upgrade. I was originally nervous about the price combined with the "universal fit" thing. I took a chance and ordered these and they have been awesome. The universal plates fit great, although I did have to put in the plates for 3 and 4 together as they are butted up to one another. I was able to use the same screws, but new ones were also provided. I am attaching a photo.

    Regarding the "Ratio" feature, it is a game changer. I never expected it to feel different, more accurate, from other tuning heads. But these being geared to each string's thickness/tension is really effective.

    If you're on the fence, I hope this helps. This is a unique product with features I would love to see become more standard from premium guitar companies. I am not considering upgrading my Telecaster to Ratio tuners.

    Thanks for the great review Matt. Some models by ESP (Bass), Schecter, Maton, Martin, and the Godin Connaisseur Acoustics are coming with RATIO... it's great to see. (and play!

    Worth the $$$

    I’m glad I threw frugality to the wind and bought these tuners. They really are a worthwhile upgrade. EBMM guitars are very stable tuning wise, but the Ratio heads make getting there so much easier!
