guitar machine heads and everything you need to know about guitar tuners
Everything you need or want and want to know about guitar machine heads, tuning pegs or guitar tuners.
This video demystifies the jargon associated with guitar machine heads. Here you'll get the answer to questions like 'what are staggered machine heads ?', 'what are locking machine heads ?', 'what are machine head gear ratios ?' and 'how do I replace the machine heads on my guitar ?'.
Every guitar has machine heads or guitar tuners and therefore this is a subject every guitarist should know about. One of the quickest, easiest and most obviously effective upgrades you can do to your guitar is to replace the machine heads and this video explains why. In this video I replace vintage style machine heads on a Donner Strat copy and I replace the standard Fender machine heads on a Fender Strat with locking, staggered Fender machine heads. This information will help you understand your guitar and show you how to replace or fix the machine heads on your own guitar. All the same principles discussed in this video about machine heads apply to both electric guitar machine heads and acoustic guitar machine heads.
