High-end Gotoh machine heads to master your guitar tuning
Every skilled guitarist needs to perfectly master the tuning of his guitar and every good luthier must equip his instruments with the best machine heads. After all, both are looking for a clear and defined sound that can only be achieved with a quality machine head.
But what is a quality machine head? For us, quality depends on the technology used, the materials and the finishes. That's why this time we bring you a wide range of high-end Gotoh machine heads and bridges, with new finishes, new posts and new exclusive buttons, made of real mother of pearl and very exotic woods.
But what's the best thing about these new Gotoh machine heads? Undoubtedly, their solid lubrication and Rock Solid technologies.
LUBRI-COAT:
The application of a solid lubricant coating to the screw reduces the friction with the gear wheel and increases the durability of the machine head.
LUBRI-PLATE:
The solid lubricant covers both the screw and the gearwheel, resulting in a smoother gearing.
ROCK SOLID:
This technology gives stability to the posts of your machine head. The special spring under the string post prevents vibration and prevents string balance.
Stability, durability and excellent tuning are the three factors to consider when choosing a quality machine heads. Let's review together the high ranges of Gotoh machine heads for classical, acoustic, electric guitars, basses and ukuleles, as well as bridges for electric basses.

Machine heads and bridges for electric basses
Machine heads
These machine heads belong to Gotoh's RES-O-LITE series and use a special "Duraluminium" alloy. What does this mean? The machine heads are lighter and relieve the weight of the headplates, thus avoiding neck dive. The two new models we add to our catalogue are nickel and cosmo black finished and have a 1:28 gear ratio.
Bridges
These bridges from Gotoh's Multi-tonal series use a hard zinc base plate and brass saddles, allowing for a more balanced high, mid, and low tone. In addition, they are suitable for both top-loaded and string-bodied basses. The two models for 5 or 6 string electric bass are chrome finished.
Machine heads for ukuleles
These machine heads have the same appearance as the classic friction ones, however, they use a planetary gear which allows a more precise and smoother tuning. Thanks to the central gear and several smaller gears that rotate around it, there is no need to tighten or loosen screws as in friction gears. This gold-plated machine head with orange-coloured buttons is a must-have for all ukulele lovers.
