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

From Low E to High E 39:1, 24:1, 20:1, 35:1, 20:1, 12:1.

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.

RATIO Machine Heads explanation video

The PRL-9721 and PRL-9731 are right-handed sets of Locking RATIO® Calibrated Machine Heads for electric guitars that use 6-in-line tuners with staggered posts (eliminates the need for a string tree).

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.

    Best 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.

    Acoustic 3+3 for Guild D55

    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!!
