Set 317: Late 1940s Kluson deluxe strip tuners as found on Gibson J-45 and J-50 guitars, the LG series and others. This set is the “no line” variety, meaning that they have no Kluson marking on the gear cover, neither do these have any patent marking. The no-line variety of this tuner was in use from about 1948 to (I think) about ’51 or ’52. The barrels are brass and ¼” diameter. The off-white buttons are replacements. The plating shows minor pitting and very light corrosion but it is superficial and the tuners function well. I don’t know if I’ve got a set of bushings for these, I will check on request. |
|
Set 332: Gold Grover Rotomatics, probably 1970s or 80s. Found on some Gibson and Guild guitars. They are a little dirty but will clean up easily if desired, the plating on the buttons and housing is worn but the look is right for an old guitar. Replaced mounting screws. |
|
Set 338: Super rare and gorgeous brass plate, floral engraved slot head tuners from the late 19th or early 20th century, most likely made by Waverly.

Functionally good, all original parts including the buttons, which are in good shape. |

|
|
Set 589: 1930s/40s Waverly WG-31 nickel plate tuners, this set has barrels for solid head mount meaning that they could have come from a Gibson Nick Lucas, Style 0 Artist, L-1 or L-2. But with slot head barrels these were also used on Martin slot head guitars of the era like the 0-21 and 00-21. If you need this set for slot head guitar let me know, as I may have barrels available to convert the set for slot head use. The set is in very good cosmetic and working order no significant plating corrosion and no plating loss. Buttons, gears, barrels and bushings are original, as are the mounting screws as far as I can tell. Very rare set.
|
|
Set 593: War time set of Kluson strip gears as were found on many Gibson guitars of the period. This set is in good working order though the plates look like they were cleaned with a wire brush or heavy steel wool as it is clear that the surface has been abraded. There is no corrosion but the plating is gone. The buttons are perfect repros of the original Kluson buttons by Antique Acoustics. 1/4” barrels. In many cases these tuners were mounted with no bushings at all, so I have no paired bushings with the set (or mounting screws).

The plating is in excellent condition though one plate has a little corrosion and plating loss at either end. There are no bent shafts and all the tuners turn smoothly and hold well. All of the parts are original including the amber buttons. The set has barrels of 7/32” diameter and a 12/1 ratio.

If you need this set for slot head mount let me know as I may have barrels available to convert them to slot head. The set is in excellent condition overall with all original parts, no bent shafts and good functionality. The plating is in excellent shape though it is under some dirt so it looks a little dull, would clean up well and look brand-new bright with a good cleaning if desired.

If you are buying these for solid head mount and will need bushings let me know and I'll see what I've got. Very rare set.

Set 618: 1960s Waverly WG-31 tuner for slot head guitar as were found on Martin 0-16 NY, 00-21 NY and 00-21 guitars in the 60s and early 70s. Also found on the 00-21 going back to the 1950s. This set is made from a treble and bass plate from two different sets, they are a turning match, but I think from slightly different eras as the buttons are very slightly different from each other. The buttons are original on each plate, but a little thinner on one plate than the other. One plate has a little more wear than the other as well. Functionally good. No mounting screws.
|
|
Set 622: circa 1910 Dinsmore & Jager strip tuners as were found on many style 28 Martin slot head guitars in the early 20th century. These tuners appeared on Martins between the Seidels that Martin used in the 19th century, and the Waverlys they would begin using by the 20s. This exquisite set is brass, possibly gold plated, though it is hard to tell for sure. The plate end has a 'saw tooth' shape and the plates are beautifully decorated with a floral motif. The buttons are solid bone. Mounting screws included, barrels measure 1/4". The tuners are in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. Super rare.

|
|

Set 636: Fine set of teens/20s nickel plate strip tuners for slot head guitar with solid pearl buttons and 'hash mark' decoration on the plates. Don't know who made these for sure, the gears have a shape and cut that looks much like early Dinsmore & Jager tuners, could be Waverly as well but I can't say with any certainty. The plating and buttons are in excellent condition and the tuners function well. The plates are 4 3/16” in length and the barrel spacing is 1 3/8”. They are early enough to be 'reverse gear' orientation. Not 100% certain what they went on either, but a colleague who is well versed in Larson Brothers guitars suggested that these were found on some high end slot head Larsons. DP4.
|
|
Set 637: 1930s Beautiful set of gold plated strip tuners for slot head with fancy decoration pattern and solid pearl buttons that were found on high end pearl trim Weymann guitars and some presentation grade pearly Washburn guitars as well. Though not marked these are most certainly made by Waverly. The barrel spacing is 1 3/8” and the barrels are 7/32” diameter. The tuners are in very good working condition and good cosmetic condition. The plating is clean and bright. One of the pearl buttons has a tiny chip at the base but all 6 are very solid. 3 of the 6 button shafts have a very slight bend/wobble, but it is very slight and not enough to impact function nor enough to have much of an impact on the feel when turning. Very rare set. DP6.
|
|
Set 638: Holy cow...so clean and classy...this set of 1930s Waverly slot head tuners boasts gold plating, “flowers & fronds” decorative pattern, and solid pearl buttons. Tuners don't get fancier than this. The set is in exceptional condition cosmetically and functions great. No bent shafts or other problems of any kind. 1 3/8” barrel spacing and 7/32” diameter. Appropriate for the best dressed of the best dressed...while most Martin style 45 slot head guitars had nickel tuners with engraving some had gold engraved/pearl buttoned tuners such as these. You are not likely to see another set. DP7

|
|
Set 641: Very clean set of teens/20s Waverly nickel plate/pearl button strip tuners for slot head with hash mark decoration. This same set of tuners with ivoroid buttons were used on Martin style 28 slot head guitars in the teens/20s but I've not seen these with pearl buttons on a Martin. A colleague with significant knowledge of Larson instruments suggests that these were used on pearly Larsons during that period. Excellent condition cosmetically and functionally. DP11

The set has barrels for solid headstock but I have barrels to convert the set to slot head use if you need them for a slot head guitar. Some high end Gibsons of this era used these tuners (solid head) and with slot head barrels they were found on many Martin guitars of the era in styles 28 through 42. Functionally and cosmetically excellent, all original parts, no bent shafts. You likely won't find a cleaner set.
|
|
Set 663: WWII era Kluson strip tuners with black buttons, commonly found on Gibson made Kalamazoo, Cromwell, and other Gibson house brand guitars. The set is in good condition with little degradation to the plate surfaces, no bent shafts, and the buttons are in great shape. They don't look quite as old as they should but they don't look brand new either, not really sure if they are replacements or not. Barrels measure 1/4" diameter. No bushings or mounting screws available with this set at the time of listing, if you'll need them please inquire.
|
|
Set 664: Late 20s/early 30s Dinsmore & Jager nickel plated strip tuners for slot head. This style strip tuner was found on some Martin style 28 guitars in the teens/early 20s though by the time this set was made Martin had moved on to using Waverlys for their slot head guitars. More likely that this tuner would be appropriate for a Weymann, Vega, Larson or other quality slot head guitar from the late 20s-40s. The set is in excellent cosmetic and working condition with original buttons, no bent shafts. A little dirty but no corrosion and will brighten up with a good cleaning if a shiny look is what you are after. Rare set.
|
|
Set 668: 1930s Kluson strip tuners with the manufacturer's mark and patent stamp around the mounting screw holes on the show face of the plates. The plating on this set is very clean with only the slightest hint of degradation on the ends. Functionally very good, no bent shafts or other issues. Buttons appear to be original and are perfect. 12:1 ratio, 7/32” barrels. I do not have mounting screws or bushings with the set at the time of listing, if you will require these items please make sure to ask if I have them available at the time of your inquiry.
|
|
Set 669: Teens/20s Waverly strip tuners in nickel with ivoroid buttons and gorgeous 'flowers and fronds' decorative pattern. This set was used by Martin on guitars from style 28 through style 45 in the teens/ early-mid 20s. The set is 'reverse gear', so not appropriate for guitars post dating 1926. The set is in excellent original condition with no damage to the plating, shafts or buttons. The set currently has barrels for solid head mount (Gibson used these for the Style 0 Artist, some Style U Harp guitars, etc), but I have barrels available to convert the set for use on a slot head guitar. When inquiring be sure to specify which barrel set you will need on the tuners.
|
|
Set 671: 1930s Waverly WG-31 "oak leaf" stamped tuners for slot head as were found on style 28 and higher end slot head Martin guitars of the 30s. This exceptionally rare set has one button that shows a small crack but is very solid, the other five buttons show some color from age but are in good shape. The nickel plating is super clean and bright. All of the gears are original, the buttons appear original as well. All of the gears and barrels turn freely with no tight spots or other functional issues.
|
|
Set 672: Teens/20s Dinsmore & Jager or Waverly (not sure which) strip tuners in nickel plate for solid head tenor guitar, probably off a Gibson. The barrel spacing (center to center) is 1 29/32". The plates have cross hash stamped decorative marking up either side and small, round off-white polished buttons with a sort of marbled coloration running through, unusual and cool. The set comes with original bushings, I don't have the mounting screws, if you'll need some inquire at purchase and I'll see if I've got some on hand at that time.
|
|
set 681: Rare 1930s Waverly WG-31 tuners for slot head with 'oak leaf' decorative pattern and ivoroid buttons. This set is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. The plating has a little dirt accumulation from 90 years but I've left them as found, would clean up for a very bright look if desired as the plating is in perfect condition. Very hard set to find.
|
|
Set 686: Rare 1930s Waverly WG-31 tuners for solid head with 'oak leaf' decorative pattern and ivoroid buttons. Found on some Gibson style O 'Artist' model guitars, L-2 and Nick Lucas guitars of the 20s and 30s. I also have proper barrels for converting this set for use on slot head guitars such as the rosewood 12 fretters of the 20s and 30s made by Martin that used these tuners, so if you need this set for an old style 28 or 42 slot head let me know and we'll swap the barrels. This set is in excellent functional condition and is exceptionally clean, looking almost new. I have not cleaned them, they are as found. Very hard set to find.

These tuners were found on style 17 Martin guitars of the 50s and 60s as well as many Harmony, Gretsch and other brand guitars.

|
|
Set 706: Super rare '46-'47 Grover "clover plate" open gear tuners as were found on some Martin 000-18, 00-18 and other small body guitars during the immediate post war era. These same tuners also appeared on some popular lap steel guitars by Gibson, Epiphone and other manufacturers. The set has one treble side that is not original to the set but is identical to the other five with the exception that it has a patent number stamp on the plate and the blocks that secure the worm gear/button shaft are square in cross section as opposed to rounded as on the other five. All gears, barrels, buttons and screws are original and in excellent condition, no bent shafts, plating loss or other issues. I do not have hex bushings at the time of listing but if you'll need them inquire as I may have them at the time you buy (same with mounting screws). |
|

This set is in very good cosmetic and functional condition, the only slight corrosion being on the button stems, the plates show no corrosion or pitting and the tuners turn freely and smoothly.

I know that these tuners were used on Martin D-12-18 and D-12-28 guitars in the 70s...likely appeared on other brands as well but I can't saw what and when. This set is in excellent cosmetic condition and appear to be in good working order as well. I do not have bushings or mounting screws.
|
|

|
Set 720: Rare Waverly "bent tab" strip tuners for slot head guitar from the late 20s-30s, this set has barrels for slot head mount but I have barrels available to convert the set for use on a solid headstock guitar if that's what you need. The set has all of its original parts and is in excellent condition, the buttons are perfect, no bent shafts, all the tuners turn smoothly. As a slot head set these were found on some 12 fret style 17 slot head Martins (in size 1, 2, 0 and 00) and with solid head barrels they were used on some 14 fret Martin style 17 guitars (0 size) as well as some Gibson L-00s, L-0s, LCs, etc. I do not have mounting screws paired with the set, if you'll need them make sure to ask when you inquire about the set.
|
|
Set 721: 1930s Grover G-98 'sta-tite' style tuners with off-white/ivory colored celluloid buttons (not grained ivoroid). The tuners have a 6:1 turning ratio, so they probably are '35- early '37, as Grover went to a 12:1 ratio by sometime in late '37. The set is entirely original including mounting screws and hex bushings. All the tuners turn freely, no bent shafts. The nickel plating shows some light wear/corrosion along the edges in a few spots but mostly they're just dirty from decades of use. I have not cleaned them. These were used on some Gibson L-1 and L-2, Nick Lucas, LC and archtop guitar models, the Roy Smeck Radio Grande and Stage Deluxe, as well as other quality brands.
|
|
Set 722: 1950s/60s Waverly strip tuners for slot head nylon string guitar as were found on Martin classic/folk models of that era (00-16C, 00-18C, 000-28C, 00-18G, 00-28G, 00-28C).

The set is in excellent functional condition, all the tuners turn freely with no 'slop' in the fit of the gears. The nickel plating is in good condition, it shows slight pitting in a few locations but is overall in very good shape though it is under quite a bit of dirt from decades of use. Would clean up nicely for a brighter look if that's what you are after. Barrels measure 1/4" diameter. I do not have bushings or mounting screws paired with the set, if you'll need them please make sure you ask when you make your inquiry.
|
|
Set 724: War time Kluson individual open gear tuners with plastic buttons as were found on virtually every 14 fret Martin guitar during WWII and many Gibson models as well. This set is exceptionally clean, no corrosion or plating loss, no bent shafts or other issues. The buttons appear to be original, quite rare as these Kluson buttons are notorious for shrinking and crumbling. No bushings with this set, as typically these were installed without them. No mounting screws paired with the set either, but if you'll need a set let me know at time of inquiry as I can likely supply a set.

|
|
Set 730: 1960s/70s German-made Kolb strip tuners for slot head guitar in gun metal finish with fancy engraving and pearloid buttons. These tuners have solid brass buttons suggesting that they were intended for steel string guitar...the only steel string guitars I've seen these on were the very few 00-45 and 000-45S models that Martin made in the early 70s (used to own one that had these tuners). With large barrels for nylon string these were found on many high end classical guitars of the era including those built by Papazian. The set is in very good cosmetic and functional condition. No mounting screws.

No bent shafts and smooth function. I do not have bushings for this set, if you'll need mounting screws please let me know when you inquire.
|
|
Set 741: 30s/40s Grover “home plate” button open gear tuners with gold plating. I can't say what these went on originally, I know I've seen this type of tuner on lap steel guitars but I'm sure they were used on flat tops as well. The set is in very good condition overall, the buttons are solid and there are no bent shafts, all the tuners turn freely and the gears fit snug with no tight spots. 12:1 ratio, 7/32” barrels. 5 out of 6 bushings are original, the sixth is nickel, mounting screws are original

The plating is perfect and shows slight patination of age but no plating loss. The plates measure 4 1/2” and the barrel spacing (E to A) is 1 5/16”.

|
|
Set 747: late 60s Kluson Deluxe 3/3 individual double line tuners with metal buttons and split shafts, patent number D-169400. Not sure what make/model guitars these were found on but most likely an electric of some kind (likely Gibson) given the split shafts. The plating on the set is super clean, in perfect condition, no bent shafts or other functional issues. Bushings and mounting screws present but I think they may be replacements.
|

The set is in excellent functional and cosmetic condition with all original parts. The plating is intact, there are no bent shafts or deterioration of the buttons. The plating shows some dirt that I haven't cleaned, the tuners would brighten up for a newer look if desired but I'll leave that to the buyer. Mounting screws are likely replacements. No bushings with the set, if you'll need a set I have originals available (didn't come with this set when I bought them but period and style correct) that can be added
|

Papazian of NYC and I've also seen them on some high end Guild classical guitars of the 60s.

The set has two buttons in good condition, not sure if they are original or replacements. If they are original it is possible that those two tuners and the other four with shrunken buttons came from two different sets originally. The plating on the tuners is in great shape, and there are no bent shafts or other functional issues. I have neither bushings nor mounting screws for the set
|
|
Set 758: 60s/70s Yamaha enclosed gear tuners. The housing of each tuner is marked “Yamaha” and they are marked as having been made in Japan. Each tuner has a split shaft like the Kluson tuners made for Fender electric guitars. The plating on the tuners is in excellent shape. They're quite heavy, like a set of Grover Rotomatics.

|

The set shows wear to the plating and some differential color aging to the buttons but they are in good functional order with no apparent mechanical issues. There is one button attachment screw gone, but that button is solidly on the shaft, so I don't see it coming off readily. I do not have bushings or mounting screws for the set.
|
|
Set 764: 1950s Epiphone “E” tuners, likely made by Kolb, in nickel plating as were found on the Zephyr, Deluxe and Regent.

This set is in very good condition with no corrosion to the steel parts, no bent shafts or other functional issues. The buttons are modern “Antique Acoustics' reproductions of the originals (the best Kluson repro buttons available). No bushings, as these tuners rarely were mounted with bushings due to the reduced metal use during the war. If you'll need a set (or mounting screws), let me know at time of purchase and we'll try to figure out what you'll need and if I've got it.
|
|

Set 774: Early/mid 30s Grover G-98 'sta-tite' guitar tuners as were found on many Martin guitars (and others) of the era. One bass tuner is not original to the set, though it is of the same type, just a year or two later than the others five, evidenced by the thicker/non seamed button. This set is rough cosmetically, good functionally, would be at home on a guitar that looks all of it's 90 years. The set comes with the original bushings and mounting screws. |

Set 781: 1930s nickel plate strip tuners for solid head guitar with off-white buttons. The set has stippled plate decoration and lobed plate ends. Not sure who might have made them, I doubt they are Waverly or Kluson, could be D & J. At any rate they are high quality and in excellent condition cosmetically and functionally, 12:1 ratio, 7/32” barrels, no bent shafts, everything works well. I've seen these on some old Washburns and Weymann guitars, possibly some Larsons as well.

Set 782: 1920s nickel plate strip tuners for slot head guitar, plain squared off plate ends and off white buttons, likely Waverly but unmarked. The set is of the type that were found on many Stella, Harmony, and other budget brand guitars but also these were used on many National resonators as well. Cosmetically a little dirty but no rust, would clean up well for a brighter look if desired, functionally good. |
