Details
For the look and feel of old-school wooden pegs but with the "no fuss" ease of use that only machines can deliver, Pegheds are the solution that every frustrated owner of a peghead guitar is looking for!
They feature a 4:1 gear reduction allows strings to be tuned more easily and accurately than traditional wooden pegs (or Caspari-type mechanisms which require screw drivers or special keys). Tune confidently and securely with the left hand while playing open strings, even during performance!
They return the fine-tuning function to pegs. Strings slide more freely over the smooth, wide nut than over the comparatively sharp edge of the bridge, where stress is concentrated and equilibrium of tension on either side is more difficult to achieve.
Gear reduction prevents sudden and repeated wrenching of pegs by novices. Strings have longer lives in the hands of young students. Bumps and shocks sustained during transport will not cause complete loss of string tension which results in fallen sound posts, broken strings, and unnecessary trips to the music store.
Pegheds eliminate the need for fine tuners; consequently, there are fewer parts to rattle and buzz. In fact, Pegheds have fewer parts than any other type peg used with long-arm string adjusters.
Pegheds eliminate the unnecessary weight, mass, and muting effects of metal tuners and metal tailpieces.
Pegheds have a brake mechanism with variable friction. Push in to increase resistance, pull out to decrease; exactly like a traditional wood peg.
Pegheds install in the headstock in a similar manner as traditional wooden pegs, using a standard reamer. There are no disfiguring holes to drill. No screws are required for installation.
