Schaller M6 180 Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 180 guitar tuning machine represents an advanced evolution of closed-type tuners, setting a benchmark for tuning stability and smooth mechanical response. Engineered with a 1:18 gear ratio, it ensures precise, velvet-smooth adjustments and highly accurate micro-tuning. Each unit features high-precision CNC-machined components and self-locking drive mechanics for dependable and consistent performance.
Crafted with premium brass posts fitted accurately into the housing, the M6 180 delivers exceptional wear resistance and long-term durability. The innovative stepped M6 flanged washer ensures straightforward installation and reliable, permanent centering of the string post via the hollow bolt, eliminating the need for stepped headstock drilling while removing tilting torque and stress from the mounting screws.
