About Guitar Machine Heads / Guitar Tuning Pegs

Guitar Machine Heads (sometimes called tuning pegs, tuning machines, locking tuners or tuners) are a crucial guitar part and help you maintain good tuning stability. There are lots of different types for different styles of guitars and purposes. It's important to choose the correct style for your guitar as you may need 6 inline style or 3x3 style. If you're replacing a broken tuner it's very easy to swap over your machine head for a new one or even upgrade to a different style. Aside from the configuration (6 inline or 3x3) machine heads come in classic vintage styles, modern styles and even locking styles. Every player has their preference on what tuner they like but it can certainly be a great upgrade to any guitar to include locking machine heads as they can increase tuning stability and speed up string changes.
