Detail 01
6 in-line
All six posts on one side. This will not work on a 3+3 headstock, and left-handed guitars need the mirrored version.

SchallerM6 Mini Tuning Machine Heads 6 In-Line Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Six in-line locking tuners in chrome for a Strat or Tele-style headstock. Buy them to stop string slippage and speed up restringing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Six in-line headstocks where tuning drifts after bends
- Players with a tremolo who restring often
- Upgrading a factory guitar without touching the neck or pickups
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Three-a-side headstocks like Les Pauls — wrong layout entirely
- Players wanting vintage split-shaft looks and slot winding
- Anyone unwilling to drill or enlarge holes if the fit is off
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Locking design
The string clamps at the post, so you need barely a wrap. Bends and trem dives come back to pitch far more reliably.
Detail 03
Mini housing
Smaller buttons and body than a full-size tuner. Less weight at the headstock, and less risk of crowding on a narrow Tele-style face.
Detail 04
Chrome finish
Matches chrome bridge and pickup hardware. Next to nickel or aged parts the brightness will read as mismatched.
Detail 05
Sold as a set of six
Full replacement of one headstock, not a single spare. One set does one guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing peghole diameter — mismatched holes need bushings or reaming
- 02Mounting screw holes may not line up with the old tuners' positions
- 03No strings or bushing adapters assumed — check what ships before you start
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my Fender Stratocaster?
They are made for six in-line headstocks like the Strat. Confirm your peghole diameter and mounting screw pattern before installing, since factory holes vary by year and build.
02Do locking tuners really improve tuning stability?
They remove string slippage at the post, which is a common cause of drift. Nut binding and bridge friction are separate issues they will not fix.
03How many wraps around the post do I need?
Close to none. Pull the string through, clamp it, and tune up. Excess wrap defeats the purpose.
04Are these left-handed compatible?
A left-handed guitar needs a mirrored set. Six in-line right-handed tuners will not orient correctly on a lefty headstock.
