Gotoh SG301-05 3L/3R Black Tuning Machines

The Gotoh SG301-05 3L/3R Black is a 6-piece replacement tuning machine set built for 6-string acoustic and electric guitars. Each tuner uses an 18:1 gear ratio, so a single turn of the button moves the string noticeably less than on common 14:1 hardware — small corrections stay controlled and accurate. The 3-left/3-right layout fits the majority of standard headstocks, and the sealed enclosed gear design keeps dust out of the mechanism for long-term reliability. Made in Japan, the set ships with all required mounting hardware including screws, nuts and washers.

What this set solves

Worn or sloppy stock tuners are one of the most common reasons a guitar will not hold pitch. Swapping in this Gotoh set gives smoother action, more precise intonation adjustments and a cleaner black look on the headstock. It is a practical upgrade for players restoring an older instrument or refreshing a daily player that has lost tuning stability.
