D'AddarioAuto-Trim Tuning Machines 6 In-Line Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Locking tuners with a built-in string cutter, 6 in-line for a Strat- or Tele-style headstock, in gold. For players who restring often.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who change strings weekly and want less setup time
- Gigging guitars with a 6 in-line headstock and gold hardware
- Anyone tired of clipping string ends with a separate tool
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- 3+3 headstocks — Les Paul, SG, acoustic styles
- Players who restring twice a year and won't see the value
- Guitars with chrome or black hardware you want matched
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Locking design
String clamps at the post instead of wrapping. Less slip, faster tuning stability after a bend or a trem dive.
Detail 03
6 in-line
All six tuners on one side of the headstock. Strat, Tele and similar shapes only.
Detail 04
Gold finish
Gold shows wear and handling faster than chrome. It also only looks right if your bridge and jack plate are gold.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing tuner hole diameter before ordering — retrofits are not universal
- 02Check screw hole placement; you may need to drill new mounting holes
- 03Strings not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my Squier or Mexican Strat?
Usually, but confirm your headstock hole diameter and mounting screw pattern first. Some in-line headstocks are drilled differently and need new screw holes.
02Do I still need wire cutters?
Not for trimming string ends at the post — the tuner does that as you tune up. You may still want cutters for removing old strings.
03Will these hold tune better than stock tuners?
The locking post removes the string windings that stretch and slip, so the guitar settles faster after a restring and holds better under bends.
04Can I install these myself?
If the holes line up, it is a screwdriver job. If they do not, you are drilling into your headstock — worth a tech.
