Aparicio Classical Guitar Machine Head Coruña Model Sterling Silver/Ebony

Overview Aparicio Classical Guitar Machine Head Coruña Model Sterling Silver/Ebony

The Aparicio Classical Guitar Machine Head Coruña Model Sterling Silver/Ebony is made of solid brass (plate, crown and worm screw), the plaque is sterling silver plated and then lacquered to protect the finish and extend its life, and presents a stark and elegant design. In the words of its creators: "The square design, like the Galerías de la Marina, overlooks the port and gives the capital of the Rías Altas its nickname, City of Glass".

The knobs are made of ebony, with the classic pleasant and silky feel of this noble wood.

In addition, these tuning pegs are equipped with a ball bearing at the end of the post to ensure smooth rotation in the headstock housing. This feature, normally found only on high-end tuning pegs, reduces friction and eliminates tuning problems. 

The precision and feel when turning the knobs is outstanding, the result of the development of the tooling, the meticulous work and the passion for a perfect fit for the musician.

In terms of finishes, Clavijeros Aparicio stands out from the rest of the proposals in the market, since starting from a solid block of brass, unique pieces are obtained, very different from those obtained by stamping or molding. Each piece is handcrafted, which makes it possible to obtain in each of them the characteristic craftsmanship seal of the company.  

It is characterized by the color and the worked texture of the brass, which allows to see the traces of the tools that give shape to the unmistakable designs.

These tuning pegs, used by prestigious luthiers, are available only at Maderas Barber and in limited quantities.

Aparicio tuning pegs are designed and manufactured entirely in Spain. The precision of their pieces is due to the careful combination of industrial methods and artisan techniques for the transformation of brass. Thanks to this combination, they manage to turn mechanics into art.
