The D'Addario Auto-Trim Locking Tuning Machines are an innovative upgrade that combines precise tuning stability with built-in string trimming for a cleaner, safer headstock. As you tune your guitar, the tuners automatically cut excess string, eliminating the need for wire cutters and preventing sharp string ends. The integrated locking mechanism securely clamps each string to minimize slippage, making these tuners especially beneficial for guitars equipped with vibrato systems. Featuring a smooth 18:1 gear ratio and a durable chrome finish, this set is designed for 3-on-a-side headstocks and delivers reliable, professional-level performance.
