A simple and effective Fender upgrade for tuning stability
The Fender ClassicGear Staggered tuners are designed for guitarists who want to improve tuning stability without altering the aesthetics of their instrument. Thanks to the staggered posts, the strings benefit from increased pressure at the nut, which enhances tuning retention, especially during bends, heavy vibrations, or regular use of the vibrato. The result: more reliable tuning and often less need to add string trees.
The design maintains a classic spirit with a vintage-style locking post, while adopting a contemporary mounting system designed for quick and secure installation. It's a relevant choice to modernize your tuning comfort while staying true to Fender's DNA.

Questions frequently asked
Are these tuning machines compatible with a Fender Player or American Professional?
Direct replacement is designed for modern-style Fender electric guitars using a 2-pin mounting system. The Player I and II, American Professional I and II, American Ultra I and II, as well as American Performer series are listed as compatible.
What is the purpose of the staggered posts on a Fender headstock?
The taller posts accommodate the low E and A strings, while the shorter posts are for the D, G, B, and high E strings. This arrangement increases the break angle over the nut. The pressure at the nut is thus enhanced to promote tuning stability.
What is the gear ratio of the Fender ClassicGear Staggered Tuning Machines Chrome?
The 18:1 gear ratio allows for precise tuning adjustment.
Is it necessary to add string trees with these tuning machines?
The increased break angle at the nut provided by the staggered posts often reduces the need for string trees. Their use depends, however, on the headstock configuration and existing setup.
What finish and post style are offered?
The finish is chrome and the hardware is made of metal. The locking post features a vintage style combined with a modern 2-pin mounting system.
