The most recent addition to this series is the Kluson® 4 or 3-on-a-plate tuning machines for Fender® Stringmaster®, Champion®, and other lap steel guitars including the steel mounting tray for restoration projects or new instrument builds. We have added locking versions of the most popular models to meet the demands of the modern player without requiring any modifications to the instrument other than a simple parts swap. These technologically improved versions of the originals come standard with an improved 15:1 gear ratio, heavier button shaft, more stable plastics, improved plating processes and built with modern precision. These and many other instrument manufacturers who regularly employed their use depended on Kluson®’s consistence and reliability.įast forward to today’s re-engineered Deluxe Series stamped steel tuning machines. The Deluxe Series was popularly used by some of the industry’s top instrument builders including Epiphone®, Fender®, Gibson®, Guild®, Kay®, Martin®, Mosrite® and Rickenbacker® to name a few. The original Kluson® Deluxe Series stamped steel tuning machine is perhaps the most iconic tuning machine design in the history of the guitar.
