## Overview

Gotoh Magnum Lock-Trad 6-In-Line Guitar Tuners combine traditional thumbscrew locking with advanced Gotoh technology for superior tuning stability. Featuring a precise 16:1 gear ratio, Rock-Solid™ string posts, and dual post heights to eliminate string trees, these chrome-finished tuners are designed for players who demand quick string changes and flawless tuning on non-locking tremolo guitars or heavy string-benders. Includes all mounting hardware for easy installation.

## Description

Traditional thumbscrew-style locking functionality with Gotoh technology.Pull the string taught through the tuner hole, and with a twist of the thumbwheel the string is locked into the post. Just a few turns of the tuner knob and you're up to pitch. Since there's just a partial wrap of string around the post, tuning stability is dramatically improved. Locking tuners are excellent for non-locking tremolo guitars, and for players that do heavy string-bending.Rock Solid™ string posts eliminate looseness and reduce backlash for improved tuning stability. No more wobbly string posts to cause tuning problems. Two post heights eliminate the need for string trees.The Lubri-Coat™ process electro-coats the gears with a special polymer layer. This eliminates the need for oil and keeps the lubrication where it's needed, for the life of the tuner.Gotoh SG381 MG-T16:1 ratio10mm (13/32") diameter pegholes required2 post heights: 18.5mm and 20mmRemovable metal knobsChrome finishThreaded hex bushings and mounting screws (6 each) includedSet of 6 in-line tuners

Review: Great upgrade for Fender guitars. - These are very nice tuners, especially for replacing vintage Gotoh non-locking tuners. They are easy to install as long as the guitar has a modern 10mm bore, though the position of the mounting screw tangs needs to be considered. The staggered heights provide a better break angle that may permit omission of string trees depending on the individual guitar, though on a Stratocaster I wish the low E had a taller post as the steeper break angle can make for less tuning stability when used with a vibrato bar. The locking mechanism iss solid and secure and makes changing strings a breeze along with improving tuning stability overall by eliminarting multiple wraps around the capstan.
Review: Excellent appearance and tuning stability. - The best tuners I have ever had for my guitars, without a doubt.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade for Fender guitars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent appearance and tuning stability.
*by A***A on December 11, 2025*

The best tuners I have ever had for my guitars, without a doubt.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit for Squier Contemporary Stratocaster
*by A***. on December 31, 2019*

I bought these as an upgrade to my Squier Contemporary Stratocaster and they were in a practical sense a direct drop in fit. I did not have redrill for the screws in the back, I only had to re-use my screws from the old tuners. I'm sure I could have also used the included screws, but the hole radius would likely have to be widened slightly. The staggered height is a plus, there's a possibility I might even be able to take off at least one of the the string trees. It took a moment to find out they were staggered height, so keep that in mind when installing. The 16:1 tuning ratio probably isn't for everyone, but with how smoothly and and accurately these turn I can get my guitar in tune much easier than the stock squier die-cast tuners. I would recommend looking up how to string locking tuners first and the "1-2-3-3-4-5 o'clock" rule. Stew Mac also has a video on their YouTube channel detailing how to install these on your strat or other 6 a side tuner guitar. Considering there was no definite proof these tuners were going to be a direct fit. I'm not claiming they will fit every 13/32 tuner size guitar perfectly, but I feel like this is an obvious upgrade for a squier contemporary guitar. This is the sort of guitar that's not ever going to be worth more stock and is a great practice guitar I believe matches or exceeds the quality of a lower end fender guitar. I think anything more expensive than these tuners will yield diminishing returns. It also showed up 2 days early, though your results may vary. I'll probably buy these again if I build a warmoth strat.
