Description:
The Gotoh SG381 is one of the most trusted machine heads in the business, built around a 16:1 gear ratio and a permanently sealed, self-lubricating die-cast housing. Gotoh's Lubri-Coat treatment on the worm gear minimizes backlash and keeps the action smooth for years, while the enclosed design shrugs off dust and sweat. A genuine performance rival to Schaller, Grover and Hipshot at a lower price.
Supplied as a 6-in-line (R6) set with 07 Schaller-style metal buttons and a Cosmo Black finish, the SG381-07R suits left-handed Fender-style and other in-line headstocks with a 10mm bore. A long-standing favorite for Strat and Tele upgrades and custom builds where reliable, no-fuss tuning matters. Bushings, washers and mounting screws included.
⚠ Please note: L6 (6L) is for right-handed players; R6 (6R) is for left-handed players. Confirm orientation and measure your existing bore before ordering.
