Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Grover’s Sta-Tite 97-18 platform, these chrome tuning machines combine open gears, a die-cast plate, and interchangeable rosewood buttons. The 18:1 ratio is intended for precise pitch adjustment. Fit details differ by headstock style: solid headstocks use the listed 22/64-inch hole and 28.77 mm overall post length, while slotted headstocks use a 16/64-inch hole and 28.56 mm post length. Check the appropriate set of measurements before installation.
