Schaller M6 180 Guitar Tuning Machine
The Schaller M6 180 tuning machine delivers exceptional tuning precision and velvety-smooth operation with its enhanced 1:18 gear ratio. As the modern evolution of the legendary original closed-housing tuner introduced in 1966, this updated edition incorporates state-of-the-art enhancements while retaining its iconic character.
Every component is CNC-machined to high tolerances, surface-finished, and fitted with premium brass string posts to ensure maximum tuning stability and wear-free performance. A self-locking drive and permanent lubrication with Schaller special grease ensure completely maintenance-free functionality over a lifetime of play.
Installation is streamlined thanks to the innovative stepped M6 flange washer, which securely centers the post through the threaded bushing without requiring stepped headstock drilling. This design absorbs lateral tilt and eliminates mechanical strain on both the string post and rear mounting screw.
