How do you remove a Steinberger tuner?

1. Unscrew the tuning knob (larger knob on back of the headstock) clockwise all the way, so the string hole is fully exposed.

3. Insert the string through the string hole in the tuner.

Do locking tuners stay in tune better?

Pro: Locking tuners provide greater tuning stability. Standard, non-locking machine heads require a string to be wrapped around a post several times. But, as the grooves on wound strings are the only mechanism to prevent the string from slipping, your guitar still falls out of tune.

What is the difference between autotune and pitch correction?

You’d know the sound when you hear it. Auto tune is an automated but less precise version of pitch correction. Basically, autotune allows you to choose the key you’re working in so the notes you sing will be automatically adjusted to fit the closest note. That’s why auto tune makes you sound like a robot.

Can you over tighten locking tuners?

Do not over tighten them or you could damage the locking pin in the post.

Should you wind locking tuners?

As I already mentioned, locking tuners prevent the string from slipping once it’s placed on the tuning pegs. Consequently, locking tuners will help your guitar stay in tune. So, the answer is yes. If you are looking for a way to improve your tuning and secure the strings, locking tuners are the way to go.

How do Steinberger gearless tuners work?

After lubricating the nut, I decided to bite the bullet and give a set of Steinberger gearless tuners a try. Typically guitar tuners operate with a gear mechanism. If you see a gear ratio that says it’s 12:1 – that means it takes 12 turns of the tuner knob to rotate the post 1 complete turn.

How do you mount a Steinberger tuner?

As opposed to having a screw on the back of the guitar holding it in place, the Steinberger has a small post that mounts on the face of the headstock. The hole size is very small so if you decide to go back to regular tuners, it will easily be covered by the grommet .

What is the difference between Schaller locker tuners and standard tuners?

The tuners themselves are heavier than standard tuners but seem much lighter than the Schaller locker tuners. As an interesting aside, for those of you who are thinking of luthery, because there are no side tuners – this means that the tuners could be installed anywhere on the headstock and not necessarily only somewhere near the edge.

What gear ratio do you use on your tuners?

Higher end guitars typically have tuners with gear ratios of 16:1 or 18:1, but when I read that Steinberger had a tuner that had a 40:1 ratio, I knew I had to give it a try. Stu Mac was selling them in the $100 range (expensive – but the gold color will run you $50 more!)
