A very unusual and limited edition offering from us here at the Relic Guitar Studio. It is virtually impossible to find proper, vintage-accurate machineheads for the early-to-mid 1950s Fender guitars but we've managed to secure a handful of sets of these beautiful tuners.
Between 1952 and 1957 Fender used what is now referred to as Kluson's 'no line' machineheads. These are most commonly found today on Fender's prototypes and extremely early production stringed instruments (c1954) but are incredibly rare. Unlike those variations which came later, these had no stampings across the rear casing at all (whereas later Klusons had either one or two stamped lines of writing).
These are direct clones of those hard-to-obtain original Fender-installed machineheads, perfect for your Broadcaster or Blackguard vintage projects and include bushings and screws so you only need to slot them into your headstock and screw them in and you're ready to go!
