Inserts for almost all guitar mechanics on the market

There are a handful of different shaft sizes among all guitar mechanic manufacturers. It is therefore important that the buttons have an exact insert to ensure an exact fit on the shaft of the respective guitar mechanics.

We at Guitar Monkey therefore offer a total of 3 different inserts in order to offer our buttons for almost all guitar mechanics on the market.

Save weight with our wooden buttons

The following table shows the different weights of the different Guitar Monkey buttons. It is clear that enormous weight savings are possible, especially thanks to the wooden buttons.
