These Fender ClassicGear tuning machines blend vintage charm with modern compatibility, just like those found on American Performer guitars. The old - school safety posts give them a classic look and top - notch functionality. Meanwhile, the contemporary dual - pin mounting system makes installation a breeze and ensures stability. Features include a set of six tuning machines, an 18:1 gear ratio, a stylish chrome finish, and the inclusion of bushings and washers. They're specifically designed for American Performer guitars and use a 2 - pin mounting system.
Using these Fender ClassicGear tuning machines is simple. First, make sure your guitar is on a stable surface. Identify the correct position for each tuning machine according to the 2 - pin mounting system on your American Performer guitar. Gently place the tuning machine in position and secure it using the appropriate tools. When tuning your guitar, turn the tuning key slowly. The 18:1 gear ratio allows for precise tuning. As for maintenance, keep the chrome finish clean by using a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the finish. Also, check the bushings and washers periodically to ensure they're in good condition and properly tightened. If you notice any looseness or unusual noise while tuning, it might be a sign that the tuning machines need to be adjusted or replaced.
