Overview
GUYKER Vintage 6R Locking Tuning Machines Set of 6 Inline Gear Ratio 1:15 Metal for Electric Guitars ST and TL

The GUYKER Vintage locking tuning machine set includes six identical machines for guitar heads, where all pegs are in a single row. The machines have a gear ratio of 1:15, allowing for fine and smooth tuning of the strings. On the back of each machine is a knurled knob with the GUYKER logo, which controls the string lock directly on the axis. Thanks to the locking of the string on the axis, only a minimal number of turns are needed during string stretching, and the string holds firmly on the axis. The appearance with oval metal heads and a shaped body is reminiscent of classic machines from older guitars.

The body, axis, heads, and housings are made of metal, and inside there is a reinforced gear that ensures smooth operation. According to the manufacturer's drawing, the axis has a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 22.5 mm, while the housings have an outer diameter of 9 mm. The manufacturer states that the machines are suitable for modern holes with a diameter of 9 mm in the guitar head. The set serves as a replacement for worn-out machines as well as an upgrade for instruments that go out of tune while playing.

Before installation, it is advisable to measure the holes in the guitar head and compare them with the dimensions of the housings to ensure that the new machines fit without modifications. The old machines are removed, the new housings are inserted into the holes, and the machines are screwed in with the provided screws in a single row. The string only needs to be threaded through the hole in the axis, tensioned, and secured by turning the rear knob, after which the instrument can be tuned. The metal surface should be wiped occasionally with a dry soft cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. After changing strings, it is advisable to check the tuning after a few hours of playing, as new strings may stretch for a while.

The GUYKER Vintage machines combine a classic look with a practical string lock that speeds up string changes and helps maintain tuning. The fine gear ratio facilitates precise tuning of each string, and the metal construction is durable for regular playing. The set is designed for guitars of type ST and TL with six pegs in a row and is suitable for both repair and enhancement of the instrument at home or in the workshop. All six machines have the same appearance and operation, ensuring a uniform look for the guitar head. When replacing the set, it is also worthwhile to check the condition of the frets and saddle.
