Faster and More Accurate Tuning
Graph Tech Ratio Locking Tuners allow you to tune your guitar more quickly and accurately than conventional designs. Each tuner in the set sports a custom gear ratio that makes each machine head react the same — roughly one full turn per whole tone. Because each string reacts the same, not only is tuning a more pleasant experience, but nailing alternate tunings is a much faster process. Graph Tech's mission statement is "to improve your playing experience." And that's exactly what Graph Tech Ratio Locking Tuners deliver.
Graph Tech's Ratio technology
Though it's a simple idea, Graph Tech's Ratio technology completely changes the way you tune your guitar. All six tuners are outfitted with gear ratios that ensure you attain the same response from your wound low E string as you do your unwound high E. No matter what string you are tuning, you'll notice that one full turn of the tuner equates to roughly one whole tone pitch change. The Ratio technology makes nailing your pitch much easier and faster. And you'll love how fast it is to get to Drop D and other alternate tunings.
Easy installation with no drilling
One of the greatest benefits of the Ratio system is that each tuner installs onto your guitar's headstock without any drilling or other destructive procedures and are completely reversible. Graph Tech's InvisoMatch mounting plates ship with the tuners. The machine heads mount directly to those plates and aren't screwed into your instrument. As their name would suggest, the InvisoMatch mounting plates are completely hidden by the Ratio tuners to supply a sleek, low-profile look on any instrument.
