The most overlooked guitar part - tuners

[JuliaCao]

The tuner is a very small part of the guitar, and few people even pay special attention to it, but it is the most basic part of the guitar.






The quality of the string buttons has a great impact on the intonation. If the tuner is not good enough, it will be difficult to adjust it just right. If it is too high, it will be high, if it is too low, it will be low. If it is too high, you will want to turn around but find that it is spinning again. This is especially true for poor-quality tune buttons. They either loosen when touched, or loosen and tighten when turned. Some of them are tight or cannot turn even if strings are not installed. The new strings are not tuned just after they are installed. It breaks after a few clicks, and the usual culprit is basically this kind of inferior tune button. And good tuners, even when using a capo, rotate very smoothly and the pitch is very accurate. A good set of guitar tuners can greatly improve the performance of your guitar. The tuners that come with many guitars from the factory are of average quality, so it is necessary to choose good tuners.






But before you confirm your purchase, you must first confirm that you have selected a suitable tuner product. There are various tuners on the market with different qualities, so you need to understand the tuners of various qualities and have a good reputation.






Players who love guitar will have heard of the GOTOH brand. Taylor/Martin's high-end guitars all use GOTOH tuners. The 510 series is GOTOH's star product that reflects its strength. Whether it is the buttons or the bridge, when you see the 510, you will know that it is a cutting-edge product. The piano buttons of the SG510 series are classics among GOTOH products. Its sleek and streamlined appearance can be said to be familiar to almost everyone. Everyone who has used it is impressed by its even damping of rotation.






GOTOH's locking tuners can better prevent the problem of string running. The locking device on the tuners prevents the strings from slipping, and you don't have to wrap the strings around the tuner posts multiple times.





If you want to upgrade your guitar to have a better appearance and more accurate intonation, you might as well try GOTOH's knobs, I believe you won't be disappointed.
