Schaller M6 Pin Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 Pin guitar tuning machine delivers outstanding tuning accuracy and smooth operation with its refined 1:18 gear ratio. Designed to build upon the legendary standard set by the original 1966 enclosed machine head, it incorporates modern precision engineering and high-grade materials to ensure maximum tuning stability and wear resistance.
Every component is CNC-machined to precise tolerances and surface-treated for flawless performance. High-quality brass string posts fit snugly into the housing, while the self-locking drive mechanism provides consistent, sensitive response. The integrated stepped flanged washer centers the string post securely through the banjo bolt, preventing tilt and eliminating the need for a stepped hole in the headstock.
All enclosed housings are permanently lubricated with Schaller special grease for completely maintenance-free longevity. Designed with a dual-pin configuration with a 0.39 in (10 mm) center-to-center pin spacing and a 0.31 in (8 mm) spacing from the pin to the post center, it provides a solid and reliable installation on compatible headstocks.
