As mentioned on our Facebook page earlier on, we are very excited to say we are now carrying product/s from Hipshot USA.
We have a selection of the very innovative Tuner Upgrade Kit for 3+3 Headstocks (Gibson style of guitar) & Tuner Upgrade Kit for 6 In Line Headstocks (Fender style of guitar) from Hipshot which will be available under the shop section shortly.
Here is some brief about these Tuner Upgrade Kits:
Inspired by the struggle of guitar owners who wish to upgrade their instruments without permanently altering or damaging them, Hipshot announces the debut of the Universal Mount Plate (UMP). This device allows players and luthiers to upgrade their guitars with Hipshot’s Griplock and Classic guitar tuners without drilling, screwing or irreversibly modifying their instruments.
The invention consists of a thin metal plate that sits between the tuners and headstock of the guitar. Tabs on the face of the plate prevent the tuners from slipping against the headstock. At the same time, reach nuts inserted through the existing headstock holes into the tuners keep the whole assembly securely in place. This means that the tuners, interlocking as one unit, use the headstock holes themselves for stability rather than individually drilled locator pin or mounting screw holes.
This system is particularly useful to guitarists who don’t feel comfortable drilling their instruments or those with antique guitars afraid of decreasing their instruments’ value by permanently modifying them due to its simplicity, the ease of install and the ease of removal.
Hipshot has an extensive range of products available, so if you like us to stock any of their other products, please do flick us an email to let us know.
