Our Silverback Vintage Tuners - Leonidas vintage guitar tuners

Our Leonidas Vintage guitar machine heads from our Silverback Vintage series are a homage to the vintage guitars of the pre-CBS era by Fender. What many do not know, Leo Fender's real name was  Clarence Leonidas  Fender. 

Our Leonidas vintage guitar machine heads are replicas of the old originals from the pre-CBS era as they were built between 1953 and mid-1956. In addition to the design and the high-quality nickel coating, we also use vintage-correct materials. The base plate and the housing as well as the post are made of steel, just like the old originals. The old originals only had a 12:1 transmission ratio in the early 1950s and a 14:1 in the late 1950s. Here we have literally upped the ante (in the gearbox) and adjusted the transmission ratio to 15:1 to enable sensitive and pleasant tuning. Like the originals, the press-in sleeves are made of nickel-plated, solid brass.

Our Leonidas Vintage Tuners fit many vintage style Strat and Tele guitars. We offer our Leonidas vintage guitar tuners for vintage style guitars with 8.5 mm holes, but also for modern guitars with 10 mm holes.
