Schaller M6 180 Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 180 Guitar Tuning Machine represents the modern evolution of the legendary original sealed tuning machine first introduced in 1966. Engineered with a refined 1:18 gear ratio, it delivers velvety-smooth action, pinpoint tuning accuracy, and long-lasting stability. Every component is precision CNC-machined and surface-treated to guarantee a self-locking drive with delicate, uniform response.
Crafted with premium brass string posts carefully fitted into the housing, this machine head minimizes wear and maximizes pitch retention. It features the innovative Schaller stepped flanged washer, which centers the post via the banjonut and removes tilt torque while eliminating the need for a stepped peghead bore.
All enclosed internal mechanisms are permanently lubricated with proprietary Schaller grease, rendering them completely maintenance-free. Designed for versatile solid and slotted headstock setups, the M6 180 provides direct replacement compatibility and uncompromising German engineering for any standard guitar configuration.
