Fender American Series Stratocaster Guitar Tuners with Gold Hardware Set of 6 Gold

Product Information

If your guitar has staggered-height tuners, or you’re planning to install some, that’s cool. Go for it and see what happens. It might be absolutely fine for you. Do keep an eye out for any change in tone or sustain on the open string; any buzzes or rattles on the open string; and —definitely— any poppin’ strings while bending. Jerod Shelby soon released a statement explaining that there had been a mix-up between the video and GPS data when the clip was edited together – and, to remedy the issue, the company will rerun the attempt in “the very near future.” A major plus point with JZW is once you've bought the first map all others are free, even if you go to stage 3+ in a few months then stage 5 next year. You pay once and that's it. I looked at Vtuner & Maptun but the extra expense of another map put me off especially as I'd probably be getting another 3 or 4 maps as I go up the stages. Furthermore, the staggered tuners with oval and smooth metal knobs not only add to the beauty but also provide precision functioning.

Staggered tuners have fewer covers on the nut, which means fewer strings that might settle unevenly during tremolo play and cause the guitar to go out of tune. And, as the tuners get farther from the nut, the angle the string ‘breaks’ over that nut gets more shallow. The American Specials' colour range is very limited albeit tasteful, with the Tele available only in three-tone sunburst and Olympic white. Our Tele is sunburst and features the thin polyurethane finish that, unlike the matt look of the Highway One models, emanates a classy and upmarket vibe. In fact, at first, it's not easy to see where - and indeed if - any corners may have been cut.It is intended to make every tuner peg smaller than the previous one as they go closer to the nut. This design maintains the same degree of tension on each string without any need to push the strings harder as with a string tree.

Vintage-style tuners typically have a press-in bushing that hold the tuning machine in place. If you’re changing from modern tuners to vintage-style, then you will likely need a conversion kit as the holes will be too big. A lot of vintage-style tuning machines come with matching bushings but if yours don’t, you can find plenty of choice to match here. Solid brass gears ensure excellent precision in tuning and this is mirrored by the high quality construction of the machine head as a whole. These tuners will be an awesome upgrade to standard and mid range guitar models they are made in the same factory as a very well known brand so we can deliver you outstanding quality at a far more competitive price! The gearing mechanism inside the tuner is completely sealed and permanently lubricated with Gotoh’s ‘Lubri-Coat’ technology. This is a coating applied to the worm gear and spur gear wheel to ensure a smooth action that also increases the durability to give you reliable performance time after time. So, the American Special slots in under the long-running American Standard range - for many, Fender's staple Tele. The more recent, matt-finished Highway One series also fills a spot in the market between the more affordable Mexican-made guitars and the upmarket American Standard and Vintage series, but lots of people want their guitars shiny, not matt.I could have made a new nut with stupidly deep slots but why make a sub-standard nut to deal with this problem. The softwares also easy to upload, has some handy features like the clearing fault codes and adjusting the wheel sizes for larger/smaller wheels (handy for me when I fitted lower profile tyres) and I'm sure he said there's a data logging option coming, which will be great if you progress up the stages so the map can be tweaked to individual cars with different set ups to get that bit extra out of your hardware. Would love to get mine mapped on Vpower with thinners when it's stage 5. Should go like stink! These American Specials take some of the best features of all the above, add a neat new twist here and there, and come up with a sparsely populated line that should instantly appeal to Fender-heads who don't have bottomless wallets, but who feel they too deserve full-on American quality - and gloss - at streetwise prices. However, after analysing the video footage – and applying a little mathematics relating to the car’s gearing and final drive ratio – internet mathematicians soon debunked the claims, saying the true top speed of the Tuatara was around 250mph.
