Ragasguitars Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 As far as how those steinberger gearless tuners work, they kick ass. They can fit on any headstock shape, and the gear ratio makes for super fine adjustment. They are easy to install and use and you can even use less headstock angle since the strings are lower when locked into the tuner. You should definitely try them out.

Im interested in what you mean by less of a headstock angle. are we talking dramatically different? If so, i see it using a smaller piece of wood (depth from fingerboard to the tip of the headstock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragasguitars Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 It can be less than with regular tuners since the string locks in the tuner about .050" above the headstock instead of about .250" like on a regular tuner. Does that make sense? Just estimating on the dimensions, but its close enough. Don't know the actual angle difference but there is a minimum for each type of tuner without having to use a string retainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
