RATIO Machine Heads explanation video

 

The PRL-8311, 8322, 8331, 8341, and 8351 are right-handed sets of Locking RATIO® Calibrated Machine Heads for electric guitars that use 3 x 3 tuners, such as Gibson style and PRS style guitars.

A great upgrade over single-gear machine heads, such as Grover, Schaller, Sperzel, Kluson, etc.

 

It has a two-pin casing that can be used as is, or with our Patented InvisoMatch Mounting Plates [opens in new tab].

4 different sets of InvisoMatch mounting plates in brushed aluminum are included to make installation on most guitars fast and accurate by using your existing screw mounting holes.

    Quality Acoustic Guitar Machine Heads!

    I was looking for a replacement machine heads for one of my acoustic guitars and these happened to be a perfect fit. Build quality is top notch and they turn smoothly. Installation was easy and although I purchased the matching black Invisomatch plates I end up not using them. Overall a fantastic upgrade.

    Perfect!

    These work exactly as advertised, and are a great replacement/upgrade from stock. Note: some of the tuners may come from the factory tightened a little aggressively - definitely try loosening a bit if you notice one or more aren't turning as easily as they should :)
