Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Grover Sta-Tite 97-18 tuning machines pair an open-gear layout with an 18:1 ratio for smooth, precise tuning adjustments. The chrome set uses ebony buttons and die-cast plates, giving the hardware a defined visual character. Its 22/64-inch post hole and 28.77 mm post length are specified for slotted or solid headstocks, so those measurements are central when planning the installation.
