Kluson® 2 Per Side Or Single
Vintage Diecast Series Bass or Banjo
Tuning Machines
Kluson’s reissued Bass/Banjo tuning machines! Staying
true to the design in virtually every aspect using
planetary gears with a 12:1 ratio (wind rate = to 14.6:1
ratio), the exact mounting screw pattern, housing size
and appearance with the 5/16 inch string post. Because
these tuning machines have a larger string post they
do require the original larger peg hole which is very
similar in size to what is used for modern diecast tuning
machines. The “T” and “B” on the bottom plates depict
treble or bass side and are only visible when tuning
machine is not installed. Available in gold, nickel and
chrome plating in sets of 2 + 2 for banjo and bass or
individually as listed here.

Our reproduction of the
iconic Vintage Diecast
Series tuning machines
began in 2002 following
the release of the
Deluxe Series tuning
machines. Hands down,
the most fitting model to
champion the return of
the Vintage Diecast series
had to be the Waffleback®.
Also known as the Kluson®
Super and absent from the
market since the early 1970s,
these tuning machines were
well known for their use in highend
guitar models produced by
Gibson® and Martin®.
