Independent shopping perspective
Grover’s 406 Series is a mid-size locking tuner set for a 3+3 guitar headstock, finished in Black Chrome. Feed each string through its hole, pull it hand-tight, then tune: the locking cam turns first to secure the string before the post begins moving. That sequence keeps restringing direct and limits post rotation when bringing a string to pitch. The 18:1 ratio provides the set’s precision-tuning control.
