What is the difference between single or double ring buttons? The single ring tulip/keystone buttons were originally used from 1950 to 1960. A single decorative ring is molded into the bottom of the button, extending the distance of the button for more stability on the smaller sized button. 1950 The double ring tulip/keystone buttons were originally used from 1961 to 1969. Two decorative rings are molded into the bottom of the button, extending the distance of the button for even stability on the smaller sized button. 1961 What is the difference between push-in or screw-in bushings? Metal push-in bushings are used to secure side to side movement of the string post on the front side of the instrument while under string tension. The knurled metal outer shape holds the bushing securely to the wood of the peg hole. Typically used in vintage applications. The modern screw-in bushing-washer combination is typical of diecast tuning machines and are also used to secure side to side movement of the string post on the front side of the instrument while under string tension. Secures directly to tuning machine housing collar through the 25/64 in. peg hole. Common to most diecast tuning machines. The collar is molded to housing that surrounds string post. The collar is usually threaded to accept a screw-in bushing. This lack of collar is for a smaller peg hole with a push-in bushing. Allows for installation on vintage instruments without modification to the size of the 11/32 in. peg hole. Locking tuning machines employ a mechanism, built into the design of the tuning machine to lock the guitar’s strings in place without the traditional requirement of multiple string windings. This allows for quicker string changes as well as increased tuning stability with both fixed and tremolo style bridge systems. Non-locking tuning machines use a traditional ore SafeTi string post. Having no assistance from a locking mechanism, these posts require an accumulation of guitar string windings to properly secure the string and ensure tuning stability. 6 in line tuning machines have been made popular by their common use on Fender® Stratocaster®, Telecaster®, or similar headstock designs. In line tuning machines often work in conjunction with string trees to maintain proper string tension and down-force on the nut for the treble side of the neck (high E, B, and G strings). 6 in line tuning machines are referred to as “bass side” when dealing with a right handed instrument, unless the headstock is “reversed”. 3 per side tuning machines are commonly used on electric ond acoustic guitars. Bass side tuning machines (when referring to a right-handed instrument) are used for the low E, A, and D strings. Treble side tuning machines are used for the high G, B, and E strings.
