Gotoh 35G510 Classical & Acoustic Guitar Tuners – Gold

MADE IN JAPAN

The Gotoh 35G510 series is the benchmark for classical and slotted-headstock tuning machines, and it is the set that many luthiers choose for fine instruments. This version, the 35G510P(G)P, pairs a gold-plated plate with ivoroid-style knobs and plastic rollers, for a refined, traditional look that suits classical, flamenco and slotted-headstock acoustic guitars.

Precision you can feel

Every turn is smooth and controlled. The 1:16 gear ratio allows fine, progressive adjustment, which matters on nylon strings, where a small turn can move the pitch a long way. The Rock Solid design holds the post firmly in place, eliminating sideways play and gear backlash, so the pitch stays where you set it under string tension.

Permanent lubrication

The gears are treated with Lubri-Plate and finished with a polymer coating, so they stay smooth without oil. The tuners are built to keep their feel through years of regular playing.

Key features

• Gold-plated plate: a warm, classic look that suits rosewood, ebony and spruce.
• Ivoroid-style knobs: light plastic knobs with an ivory-coloured finish, comfortable to grip and easy to turn.
• 10 mm plastic rollers: smooth string posts that are gentle on nylon strings.
• 1:16 gear ratio: accurate, fine-tuned control.
• Rock Solid system: no post wobble and no backlash for stable tuning.
• Lubri-Plate gears: long-lasting, maintenance-free smoothness.
• 3+3 plates: a full set for a standard slotted headstock.
• Made in Japan: consistent, careful machining, which is why Gotoh is a standard choice for guitar makers.

Fitment notes

This set is made for slotted headstocks. Before ordering, check the plate size and the screw-hole spacing against your existing tuning machines, as these vary between instruments. If the screw holes on a new set do not line up with the old ones, the old holes may need to be filled and new ones drilled.
