14:1 gear ratio
Gives control over subtle pitch adjustments.

Independent shopping perspective
Grover’s nickel Sta-Tite 97 tuning machines are a drop-in replacement option for most guitars, built around a 14:1 ratio. That ratio is intended to give you controlled, subtle pitch changes rather than broad jumps at the key. The open-gear layout is made for frequent tuning, making these a practical choice when replacing tuners and getting the guitar back into use for recording or live performance.
