Independent shopping perspective
The chrome Sta-Tite 98 set is intended for electric guitar and uses a 14:1 ratio for controlled tuning adjustments. Its open-gear appearance is paired with construction designed to handle frequent retuning. Installation details are split by headstock type: slotted headstocks use a 15/64-inch post hole and included screws, while solid headstocks use a 23/64-inch post hole with bushings and screws. Check those measurements before planning the replacement.
