The Fender ClassicGear Staggered Tuning Machines are a modern upgrade with vintage appeal designed to enhance tuning stability and ease of installation. With a staggered post design that eliminates the need for string trees they improve the string break angle over the nut for better tuning performance. Featuring an 18:1 gear ratio for smooth precise adjustments these tuners combine old-school safety posts with a contemporary dual-pin mounting system. Compatible with a wide range of modern Fender guitars they offer a direct drop-in fit for models like the American Professional Ultra Performer and Player series.
