Single (1 R) - Paulus vintage tuner guitar mechanics - single ring - no line - keystone tulip buttons - 8.5 mm bore - suitable for Les Paul & SG

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.
