The Gotoh SG301 MG-T-04 Locking Tuners are designed for guitarists seeking enhanced tuning stability and performance. Ideal for non-locking tremolo guitars and players who engage in heavy string-bending, these tuners provide a reliable solution for precise tuning adjustments.
Utilizing traditional thumbscrew-style locking functionality with Gotoh technology, these tuners allow for quick and efficient string locking. By pulling the string taut through the tuner hole and twisting the thumbwheel, the string is securely locked into the post. This innovative design minimizes string wrap around the post, significantly improving tuning stability. The Rock Solid™ string posts eliminate looseness and reduce backlash, ensuring that the tuning remains accurate and reliable. Additionally, the two post heights remove the need for string trees, simplifying the setup process.
The Lubri-Coat™ process electro-coats the gears with a special polymer layer, maintaining lubrication throughout the life of the tuner without the need for oil. This feature enhances performance and reduces maintenance, making the Gotoh SG301 MG-T-04 an excellent choice for musicians who demand reliability from their equipment.
