Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Grover's gold Sta-Tite 97-18 H97-18GB tuning machines are made for guitars with slotted headstocks. Their 18:1 ratio gives the tuning adjustment a smooth, precise feel, helping with close pitch changes when setting up to play. Die-cast construction carries the series' traditional visual character, while the gold buttons provide the finishing detail. Choose these when the slotted-headstock requirement and gold-button appearance suit the instrument.
