The 25/64-inch post hole and 22.2 mm post length are intended for most standard guitar headstocks, making them a practical option when replacing compatible tuners. Their full-size Imperial styling gives the headstock a vintage-oriented look while keeping the focus on precise, smooth tuning operation.
