Independent shopping perspective
Built for guitar, the Grover 97-18 Sta-Tite set combines open gears, a die-cast plate and interchangeable rosewood buttons. Its 18:1 ratio is intended for precise tuning adjustments, so it suits players who want to make small corrections at the tuner. Fit depends on headstock style: the listed post-hole and post-length measurements differ for solid and slotted headstocks. Measure the instrument before committing to the set.
