Independent shopping perspective
With white buttons and a nickel finish, this Grover 409 Series set is built around vintage A-style mandolin hardware. The 18:1 gearing is specified for precise tuning and stable intonation. Open worm-under gears, die-cast plates, and bell-top button screws supply the traditional visual character, while the 25/64-inch post hole and 30.3 mm overall post length give you concrete dimensions for evaluating the installation on your mandolin.
