Kluson Revolution Tuning Machines
Modern Specs Meets Vintage Mounting Configurations
G Mount
F Mount
H Mount
The Kluson Revolution Series of tuning machines are designed specifically to meet the needs of modern players who demand performance and reliability. These models are an easy retrofit to many vintage style tuners commonly seen on Gibson and Fender guitars, with no permanent modification required!
When performance and durability is key, we highly recommend these tuning machines as an upgrade. They can be installed for just a small extra charge the next time your instrument is in for a setup. If originality and resale value is a concern, just keep the originals in the case. The next owner can swap them back if desired with no damage to the instrument.
For players seeking a more traditional look, Kluson also offers a large assortment of vintage correct and upgraded vintage styled tuners to fit your needs. Tuning machines are among our favorite ways to upgrade instruments as shown in our articles Mods and Upgrades For Fender Stratocaster and Fender Jazz Bass Mods and Upgrades.
