Schaller Original G-Series Keystone DR TOP-LOCKING Vintage Tuners 3x3 - NICKEL

Most common tuning pegs feature a lower gear ratio of 1:14 or 1:16, which was a standard for a long time. The introduction of the 1:18 ratio in our Schaller GrandTune and improved M6 series, has now also found its way into the classic Original Deluxe KeyStone. The higher gear ratio of 1:18 ensures a precise and velvety smooth tuning process. An investment in your guitar to improve tuning accuracy that should not be underestimated.

Instructions for toplocking screw

• Unscrew the knurled screw on the adjusting axis anti-clockwise until the clamping ball comes off.
• Now press the strings against the clamping ball. Under pressure, it recedes. You can now put the guitar string through the adjusting axis.
• Screw the knurled screw clockwise until it is hand tight. The string is now secured by the clamping ball.
• Now you can tune your strings.
• Now featuring a metric thread and a specially developed screw locking device, so you don`t lose the screw anymore!
• When loosening the screws, turn them anticlockwise until the string is tightened into position.
• When removing the connecing screws completely  from the shafts, simply take the connecting screw out of the shaft at threshold resistance. 
• The Schaller Toplocking with fine pitch thread and pull-off locking screw.
• Fine Pitch Thread for better locking adjustment.
• Our new Toplocking screw with fine pitch thread allows the screw to be turned more precisely and the locking torque to be adjusted more accurately.

• To prevent the toplocking screw from coming off and getting lost in the process of string changing we designed a new mechanism keeping the loosened screw in place even when it is completely unfastened.
