Description:
The Gotoh SE700 delivers traditional open-gear looks with modern Japanese precision. A 15:1 gear ratio gives smooth, accurate tuning feel, while ROCK-SOLID string posts resist the rocking and flex that plague cheaper vintage-style machines. At just 25.4 grams each, the set adds minimal headstock weight — a real consideration on lightweight acoustics where balance matters.
Designed as a direct replacement for 3x3 headstocks with vintage-style pegholes, the gold-plated SE700-06M suits slotted and solid-headstock acoustics, archtops, and vintage-spec electrics chasing period-correct aesthetics without period-correct problems. Requires 11/32" (8.8mm) pegholes — measure before ordering. Bushings and mounting screws included.
