GotohLocking Tuners Right Hand - 6 Pack Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A six-piece set of Gotoh locking tuners in gold for right-handed guitars. For players who restring often or use a vibrato and want stable tuning.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who change strings frequently and want a two-minute job
- Guitars with a vibrato arm that drift out of tune
- Matching gold hardware on a build or refit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed guitars — the post direction is wrong
- Players content with standard tuners and no tuning complaints
- Anyone unwilling to check hole sizes before ordering
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
6 pack
A full set for one guitar. No need to buy singles or mix with your old tuners.
Detail 03
Right hand
Post and button direction is set for a right-handed guitar. A lefty needs the mirrored version.
Detail 04
Gold finish
Warm yellow, matches gold bridges and pickup covers. Gold plating wears through at contact points faster than chrome or nickel.
Detail 05
Gotoh build
A Japanese hardware maker used as original equipment on many production guitars. Tighter gear tolerances than budget sets.
Detail 06
$111 for six

- 03Locking tuners cut tuning drift but will not fix a binding nut
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do locking tuners actually work?
You feed the string through the post, pull it tight, and turn a thumbwheel that clamps it. Then tune up. No wraps around the post.
02Will these stop my guitar going out of tune?
They remove one common cause — string slack unwinding at the post. Drift from a rough nut slot, a floating bridge, or new strings settling stays.
03Do they fit any guitar?
Check three things: peg hole diameter, headstock thickness, and the mounting screw or pin pattern. Mismatched hole size means reaming or bushing adapters.
04Can I use these on a left-handed guitar?
No. This set is built right-handed, so the buttons and posts face the wrong way on a lefty headstock. Order the left-hand version instead.
