Pre-war tuners reborn! Our replica 3-on-plate tuners with simple incised baseplates, as produced by Waverly from the 1920s to the '40s.
They feature authentic steel baseplates and cream knobs, plus 15:1 gear ratio for better tuning than the originals.
Golden Age tuners are available exclusively from StewMac, made with our expert eye for details and exact specifications.
"People who build replica instruments or who do restoration or repair work are just going to love these." —Frank Ford, vintage instrument repair expert
Golden Age tuners are the rebirth of popular early 20th Century tuning machine designs, featuring simple steel plates and open gears. Replacements for the originals have long been sought by collectors and repairmen, to restore older guitars and improve their tuning. Our special relic nickel-finished versions complement vintage hardware and add an authentic look to reproduction guitars.
- 15:1 gear ratio for improved tuning
- Vintage-style riveted worm supports
- Original-shape cream plastic knobs; relic tuners have knobs with a matte finish
- .236" (6.00mm) string post diameter
- Original mounting screw spacing (screws included)
- 1-3/8" (34.93mm) string post spacing
- Bright nickel, relic nickel or relic brass finishes
Also available to fit solid pegheads.
Note: Plate-mounted tuners can't work efficiently if the pegholes are improperly aligned. Our Tuner Drill Jig ensures the correct spacing for accurate tuning.
"The Golden Age Restoration tuners are really great. I have just put them onto my 1929 Gibson L-1. I like the fact that someone went to the trouble of making them look right." —John Evans, Brussels Belgium
"Great tuners with the right look and feel! The only thing different about them is that they are better made and more functional." —Richard Barnes, Pomona CA
