7 good reasons for our Silverback Vintage Tuners - Paulus guitar machine heads
Vintage Keystone Tulip Buttons
Vintage Correct Plastic Keystone Tulip Buttons.
Vintage correct 19.5mm posts for sound & sustain like the original vintage counterparts
An enormously important component for the great sound and the outstanding sustain of the old vintage Gibson guitars is the low height of 19.5 mm posts of the guitar mechanics. This increases the string pressure on the saddle enormously and you can feel and hear it! Unlike many other manufacturers, we attach great importance to this very important detail.
No-Line - Single-Ring
Our Paulus Vintage Tuners are replicas of the originals as they were built between 1953 and 1956. The No-Line steel housing therefore has no lettering and the Keystone Tulip Buttons only have one ring (single ring).
15:1 gear ratio
The old originals only had a 12:1 transmission ratio in the early 1950s and a 14:1 in the late 1950s. Here we have literally upped the ante (in the gearbox) and adjusted the transmission ratio to 15:1 to enable sensitive and pleasant tuning.
Steel meets Steel!
Vintage correct steel case, steel pin and steel baseplate.
Suitable for almost all Les Paul & SG Style guitars with both 8.5 mm and 10 mm hole diameters
We offer our Paulus vintage tuners with both 8.5 mm and 10 mm press-fit sleeves. Our vintage tuners are therefore suitable for vintage guitars and modern guitars.

quality and packaging
Each individual tuner and button is checked again before shipping and the result is recorded on your quality card!
For us, the most sustainable packaging is also the one that can be reused, which is why we only use our premium packaging Doypacks.
Our Silverback Vintage Tuners - Paulus vintage guitar tuners
Our Paulus vintage guitar machine heads from our Silverback Vintage series are, as the name suggests, replicas of the old originals as they were built between 1953 and mid-1956 and were mainly found on Gibson Les Pauls and Gibson SGs.
In addition to the design and the high-quality nickel coating, the vintage-correct materials are particularly noteworthy. In addition to the base plate and the housing, the post is also made of steel, just like the old originals. The press-in sleeves are made of nickel-plated and solid brass, just like the models. The old originals only had a 12:1 transmission ratio in the early 1950s and a 14:1 in the late 1950s. Here we have literally upped the ante (in the gearbox) and adjusted the transmission ratio to 15:1 to enable sensitive and pleasant tuning.
Our Paulus vintage tuners fit many vintage style Les Paul and SG style guitars. We offer our Paulus vintage guitar machine heads for vintage style guitars with 8.5 mm holes, but also for modern guitars with 10 mm holes.
