The Korena take

These chrome-button Sta-Tite 97-18 Series tuners use open gears, die-cast plates, and butterbean buttons in a classic-style layout. Their 18:1 ratio is intended for minute tuning adjustments from a slight turn of the button, so you can work carefully toward pitch. Installation hardware is included. Before fitting them, match the listed post-hole and post-length details to the appropriate solid or slotted headstock configuration.
