The Kluson® Supreme series tuning machines have an 18:1 gear ratio in the traditional stamped steel housing. This particular set is designed for instruments using a 6 in line (not plate mounted) tuning machine set with an upgraded gear ratio to original machines.
The housing bears the series name SUPREME in place of the original DELUXE moniker but this is the only hint to what lies hidden under the dust cover. Using all vintage specs these tuning machines will drop right into your instrument using the vintage 6 in line individual tuners with no modifications.
The smooth and reliable performance of the Supreme Series outshines the rest in its class. This is a complete set and comes with 6 bass side tuning machines with metal oval buttons and all hardware needed for installation.
Staggered posts negate the need for a traditional string tree. By eliminating the string tree, the break point created on the string before the nut is also removed; increasing string life, resonance, and tuning stability.
Staggered Safe-Ti-Post set includes:
- (2) 18mm post height tuners
- (2) 19mm post height tuners
- (2) 20mm post height tuners
Post heights are measured from baseplate to bottom depth of Safe-Ti-post slot
